Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Just for clarification: it wasn't officially announced. Keith Johnson confirmed on a podcast (I think it was Buffalo Pinball's show) that the community's stupidity (my word) around the spinning disc and treasure chest led to cancellations which directly impacted sales projections, and led to a reduced order on parts, which further impacted the profit margin (fewer parts cost more individually to make), and here we are. I'm sure JJP wishes they hadn't shown the prototypes with that stuff working so early on, but I seriously doubt they expected the backlash that resulted. Which, IMO, in hindsight, was stupid.
Then to have no price reduction after removing play field mechs. Totally stupid to not expect backlash.
