Quoted from Yelobird:

I look forward to when They are ready to launch then the primary group of haters can move on to new speculation. Postponing the unveil is just business 101. Not great but a rather simple decision. You only get to launch a product or products once. At Best 10% of the market would even consider a large scale pin purchase. Why throw a party nobody can nor has interest in attending at this time? Don’t see Stern CGC, JJP, running to release a new title. Sadly AP thought they jumped the line and I fear lost launching early. JJP unveiling the amazing POTC a year prematurely didn’t exactly help sales. Killed them actually. So much hate and speculation for this company it’s just odd? They will unveil games, when they decide its the right time. Everyone claims Robert is a liar or a showmen yet all of the speculation about money etc are cookies he threw the crowd. We shall see but my guess is this company will grow faster then most suspect.

R&M did come out before AP game.

Quoted from toyotaboy:

Are you crazy or being sarcastic? The government did a TERRIBLE job. We saw how the virus spread across europe for months, and they played it off like this was no big deal, it's just the flu, no way that's going to affect us or come over here (yet they didn't shut down international travel until it was too late). Currently we are at more than twice the cases of china, more deaths already than China (with 1/4 the population). Hell, I bet new york state alone surpasses the number of cases of China by tomorrow:

China is under reporting.

Its not easy for someone with no manufacturing/product background to bring a product to market. Pinball is not easy.

But's it's easy to take investors money

Quoted from Tranquilize:

Ask how sales on Hot Wheels are going. I would imagine they are dismal at best. Revealing a pin right now online is dumb idea for any company. To put this in the "deeproot is failing" pile just isn't fair.

Rick And Morty sold out but that was before and how far behind are they?. How sold is heavy metal? Sterns other games on the line?

Hot Wheels Very bad timeing.

Deeproot waited to long?

Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:

Now that deep root’s innovations have been identified and listed, I spent some time considering them. Many are fine and a few are good ideas too. Taken together, most pinball players would agree the Pinbar (tm) adds much capability and value. Is that enough to make me want to buy one? Well if the low end model is priced @ $5.5k like a Stern pro and it has the above value included, I’d be interested in trying one of the pins. If it is priced like a Stern prem @ $7.5k, which it is probably worth, I am not interested, as I want a Ferrari for Kia pricing. So if Robert Mueller gives us a premium at the price of a pro, I’d have to act. Maybe more features added, might increase what I’m willing to pay. What kinds of features you ask?
Pinscale (tm) - optional pad inside cabinet can be placed on the floor and when Player steps on it announces his weight. Can be adjusted to lock refridgerator when needed.
Pinpressure (tm) - optional arm cuff can be worn and Player’s blood pressure is announced. Can be adjusted to dial 411 at certain trigger levels.
Pinheart (tm) - optional chest band can be worn to periodically announce Player’s heart rate. Can be adjusted to cockblock all earned multiballs until Player has returned to their safe heart range.
Pindiabetes (tm) - Player can slam their hand down on corner of Pinbar (tm) to create a prick. Simply drain some blood on the Pinbar (tm) and it can be analyzed for blood sugar level. Immediately alerts Player if they need to eat a hotdog or ice cream sundae.
Pindating (tm) - optional profile can be created and a single status will actively shop that Player to 3.2 biillion women on earth.
Pinpuncher (tm) - optional boxing glove subassembly can be attached to the coin door and it will punch Player in the nuts based on certain score level triggers or for restarting a bad game.
Pinvacuum (tm) - optional air hose can be pulled from coin door and pump turned on to create a hand wand with major sucking action. Do you have something that needs to be cleaned? Well use the hose.
Pindongledisplaycase (tm) - with all this happening we are going to need a lot of dongles. Optional leather display case with see through glass window allows Player to see their dongles working while seeing them arranged in industrial fashion.
Pintread (tm) - optional roller assembly stores under pinball machine until needed. Place in front of pin, climb on and begin walking your way to a high score, one step at a time. Every mile earns one million points. Can be set to pay off in 1/10 mile increments.
PinPinside (tm)(tm) - dictate a review and have it automatically uploaded to a Pinside club thread.
Pin2pay (tm) - use Pinbar (tm) to surf the web, pay bills electronically, check bank account balances, buy and sell stock, swap recipes, order dinner, research genealogy or just send the pinball technician a love note.
Pinbunny (tm) - allows Player to charge their iPhone, iPod and PC battery over WiFi.
Pinbookie (tm) - allows Player to place bets on the winner of pinball tournaments and local horse races or it will allow $1 wagers on multiplayer games.
Pinfortune (tm) - hands free dialing to Player’s choice among all the hottest tv psychics. Learn your fate as Thanos delivers his.

Pincherry (tm) - Turns the game into an cherry master

Quoted from noitbe1:

Gottlieb games (premier) developement time was between 12 to 15 weeks (mario bros, gladiators...), WMS 12 to 15 months. Could you beleive that! The « Premier » are not the best games for sure but anyway, look at what they were capable to do in such a short times: working and fun pins. At the end it’s what to be expected. Why so long to reinvent everything for at the end .... nothing.
I don’t think we’ll see anything at the Virtual expo. Not so surpised.

gladiators was Zelda --- American Gladiators --- Try to go Back to Zelda --- Gladiators. All of that in 12 to 15 weeks????

#12828 3 years ago
Quoted from noitbe1:

That's the reason why Zelda and American gladiators were cancelled. To short dev time. Here we can't compare, we are at 9 years for RAZA ?? even if reworked couple of time. It's time to show a working pin, that was my point.

Zelda was the plan but then American gladiators (a big tv thing at the time) came up with Need to have game now and the deal did not work out and they had change it right at the end with no time to go back to Zelda

#12831 3 years ago
Quoted from o-din:

Gladiators was the best choice, because it would have cost bookoo bucks to get Malibu and Joe Theismann on board for American Gladiators.

maybe just mike adamle then

#12932 3 years ago
Quoted from Oldgoat:

I would like to see the CBA for DLC on a pinball machine. The number of units of a typical pinball machine sold is negligible when compared to video games, MS office products, mainstream consumer products, etc. And, of course, not everyone would purchase the content. The cost to develop, document and support the code is not insignificant....and, as someone who spent many years in the software business including managing both development and support, I can tell you the bane of our existence was variable customer configurations. It is a pain (read costly) to support. Maybe the numbers work out but with mainstream manufacturers having a difficult enough time cranking out complete, bug-free code, I'm not sure a great business case exists.

but there is room for online services at an monthly cost + doing CC sales.

Not sure how to decrypt the DLC write up. It’s as if the entire site was written & edited by a lawyer. Oh wait...

Pay for software updates WTF?????

Stern and the others don't do that.

Who do they thing they are INCREDIBLE TECHNOLOGIES?? Will updates be online only with hardware keys that need to change each year?

#13911 3 years ago
Quoted from ThePinballCo-op:

Pro: NIB game that's under 6k
I do wonder about the $600 support fee..... what the heck is that? What does it cover?

well you do want the login to download the restore image and doing repairing of the DRM dongle don't you?

$600 /year game for updates is an joke unless the code ships 100% done.

#13914 3 years ago
Quoted from nwpinball:

Williams is for the new updates, but it's only $15 a pop.

But that is 2th/3rd party mod / update for very old games that is being sold as an officially approved update.

For new stuff at very least you should get 3-5 years of free updates. (now maybe change for online stuff but not basic local game play)
