At this point I am a hard pass on anything to do with comics and/or Marvel movies. On the other hand The Boys is something I could get behind, but it is sort of the anti comic book show and that's why I love it.

Aside from Rush and Bond, I haven't heard of any rumors from any of the pinball companies that gets me excited. Jaws would have been a much better theme for Brian Eddy than Venom. Oh well, saves me some money for other hobbies and gets me out in the fresh air!

So because people are let in on proprietary information that is a company secret, they have a responsibility to report it here? You realize that is exactly what you are saying? Yes, many know the titles ahead of time and have signed NDAs or learned it confidentially from someone who does. This walking, talking rectum that is referred to as K Man is simply the one who has no ethics or personal integrity. He is willing to repeat any information that people feed to him whether right or wrong for a chance at this petty personal glory. Meanwhile dozens of people sit quiet and keep the information confidential out of respect for the businesses and livelihoods that are involved. This includes respectable pod casters who would rather get correct information directly from Stern and the other pinball companies than burn those bridges by reporting ahead of time.

Wow. Why go through all the bother of keeping it secret and having NDAs and all of that if it doesn't impact the business and bottom line? This is done in a lot more industries than pinball and people certainly get fired on a daily basis breaking NDAs. You do realize pinball has become a highly competitive business with multiple companies trying to stab each other in the back? There is nothing wrong with conjecture/wishing out loud here in a forum. That is a whole lot different than someone on a podcast leaking the confidential news.

You do bring up a good point that I should have mentioned, but didn't because it is obvious: K is nothing but a tool in this situation. The people who leak to him are the ones who are violating a trust because they know he is going to turn around and tell the world. They are simply using him because they know he has no integrity and as you point out, he is not under an NDA. The people who talk into K's ear are the true assholes in this situation (unless of course they are lying to make him look like a fool).
