Do you really think a brand new JJP game at $4999 or less would resemble the JJP games you've come to know and love?
Don't understand the point of this one.

Quoted from PanzerFreak:Sure it wouldn't be as feature packed as their current games but I bet it would have the same amazing code support. There wouldn't be 1 year code update delays. Without polished, unique and deep code all of these games are just a box of lights.
So your imaginary $5,000 JJP game has fantastic polished code, and doesn't have lengthy delays between code releases? That makes sense, we all know that code is free and slicing the cost of a JJP game almost in half won't affect code at all. I'm pretty sure Keith Johnson wouldn't mind taking a 40 percent pay cut, working 40 percent harder and faster, or working with 40 percent of the resources to pay for your imaginary 40 percent cheaper JJP game that you have already agreed to buy.
As far as I can tell, a pinball company has only reduced MSRP and released a commercially available "budget" pin line once in the history of the industry. It's called the Gottlieb Street Line, and (spoiler alert) it was NOT a success, in any measurable way - the games lacked pizzaz, they didn't earn, they didn't sell, and the experiment was abandoned after a year or so. Don't see why anybody would want to see anybody try something similar right now. Do some homework on the Street Line and see if that's really what you want to see your beloved JJP do.
Quoted from flashinstinct:So by your account levi stern can but jjp cant is that it?
That's not it.
Quoted from flashinstinct:Ok then what is it?
This is it.
Quoted from flashinstinct:So what some of you are essentially saying is that Spooky with a workforce of like 10 people can produce a $5200 dominoes game but JJP cannot let's say make a game that is between let's say dominoes and dialed in?
That's not it.
