Those of us who saw WOZ very early saw an incomplete game that COMPLETELY blossomed well into the production run with code additions. Bear in mind that due to the licensing being tied to the release of the 3rd Hobbit film, we are NOT seeing a completed game - I would presume that anything using features/clips/audio from Film #3 is probably not in the code version we are seeing in Chicago.

Just remember how well WOZ completely met (and exceeded) its potential with Code Release 3.0 - which was a good 6-8 months after the first games went out.

A select few received WOZ and SOLD IT well before V 3.0 - they waited a year for it and then could not wait long enough to see the final version before growing impatient and dumping it. Their loss. I feel like people who did this were foolish.

Hobbit will be fine.

This is an excellent point. Quite frankly, IAAPA matters MORE than Pin Expo from a commerciality standpoint. IN A GENERAL SENSE, Pin Expo is a finely focussed set of pinball-specific enthusiasts and collectors - in other words "a small group". Opinions DO matter greatly BUT.....

IAAPA is where JJP made a huge splash back in 2012 by winning "Best New Game of 2012" for WOZ and got the attention of the entire amusement industry. These are the Amusement Arcade/Themepark and Gaming OPERATORS that JJP must impress in order to not only sell the game but also to claim some valued real estate at the various venues. It would be nice to see a similar splash occur in 2014 - we will see.

I am taking the Pin Expo feedback with a grain of salt for now.

For future polls - No "if" statements - it confuses things. I did not even answer the poll - too confusing and neither option addressed where I stand. "Staying in PERIOD" (with no ifs).

I have a Hobbit reserved - and I did not even answer the poll at all due to neither of the choices reflected "I am in and staying in" with no qualifications. The Hobbit poll reveals nothing useful.

For what it is worth - "In from Day 1 and staying in on an MMR" - though I believe that poll was clear cut so I answered it.

The internet - a vast wasteland of misinformation.
