I thought I read that when Brian Eddy was hired his first game would be in 2019. The guy is a pinball genius and he’s had 20 years to think of his next game. Think Elwin with Iron Maiden and Lawlor with DI. The game was in their head before they came on board. Eddy will be offered a choice of theme for what Stern has a licence for. He knows how to code so chances are the code won’t be half baked at launch. Borg, Ritchie, Gomez games are often derivatives of previous layouts. Hopefully Eddy will come up with something different but also special. Theme doesn’t worry me as long as it’s not a music pin. (My taste in music is not on Sterns list it seems) If Eddy’s not next up, I can wait.

What about Lonnie for the pro and Lyman for the Premium/Le models. That would be a real differentiator
