Complaining about code level of completeness is a moot point when various companies are still selling games.

Stern-
Multiple games in the production pipeline and I am sure code for each one parallels it as the physical build gets to JOB-1. When the hardware is completes the code goes in at whatever level it is and it ships. If you like the title / theme of the game buy it and hope its decent or readdressed as time moves forward.
Some titles never get an update.

JJP-
Made a huge blunder (nice sales pitch) by promising to not ship without complete code but is playing catch up and addressing it. If that is what his customers want he is targeting and supporting them. Kudos to JJP.

MM Remake-
Sold out based on title / theme popularity and everyone assumes its a carbon copy of the original.
Point being people are buying into them with little information for the most part and assuming the finished product.

If you buy a game based on its theme or "fun to play" face value you will not be disappointed. If you expect more then wait until you see a finished item to decide. As long as people keep ordering games and the companies can sell everything they make forcing a change is not likely to happen but its fun to talk about.

WPT had one update but lots of potential and WOF has been SOL.

I am not a huge Apple fan in fact I dislike their overpriced PC hardware.
I much prefer a rooted Android over anything Apple as well but that's another topic.

Complaining about pinball machine code is parallel to bagging on operating systems. Microsquat as well as other devs have never released a "complete" version of any OS but most run apps and function to a certain extent.
Pinball game code is similar IMHO because it all basically works with some releases more complete than others and usually gets some form of an update down the line.

If you refuse to buy a pinball machine based on some level of code completion try applying that same logic to a PC or smartphone and you will be making calls using tin cans & string or surfing the net on your TRS-80.

Or : It works but can or should work better.

I agree for the amount of money paid there should be a high level of code performance provided, without waiting.
(I had a NIB WOF so tell me about incomplete coding.....inserts that do not light up)

Until sales drop due to direct code issues not much will likely change unless the respective companies take up the task themselves. I still think the number of people they boycott an actual purchase is small and overpricing games will affect sales more than code related issues.

Like the shiny car on the lot that looks nice until you spend some time driving it.
Once you figure it out they have your money and its not coming back.
