Quoted from inhomearcades:

Built pinball? Come on. There is one thing to have tits on a pinball machine but to make it the childish center focus of the theme? Either just have a tits based game with real tits on it or don't bother. This theme is something a 10 year old would come up with.

Quoted from SadSack:

I think for 6 grand, I'll take a line of cherry gottlieb wedgeheads before I buy into a machine I have to cover whenever I have guests. As far as I am concerned, they should have just called this game "Sweet titties". But this isn't the first time I thought like this. They should have called Playboy "pornographer gang bang" in my mind.
If you are really into sexing up your gameroom, get a "Big Dick" and be done with it. For me, I have a hard time understanding any attraction to putting a primarily sexual theme on a toy. It's not like non-pinheads don't already think most of us are strange. Primarily sexual games add a real creep factor to pin collectors. Even Future Spa and Xenon had the class to make their sexuality secondary to their sci-fi.
I get it. Some of you think I'm a prude. Really all I'm trying to do is be practical and recognize the social implications of my high-dollar discretionary purchases.

QUOTE: "This is not an EM machine, its a hybrid monster, and it does not even work the same."
QUOTE: "This game will pass onto pinball history as an overpriced novelty, like home edition pinball machines."
Novelty = homage = retro = not the same as an EM
Hybrid, novelty, retro machines have failed repeatedly in every case they have been introduced in pinball history.
You have to read, the whole post first.
If you like it, great, it was worth the money to you.
Seems hard pressed that most want to drop $6500 on this machine, hence the reason is already being sold at reduced prices.
If this game is "so good" why is this happening?
EM collectors generally do not like it.
SS collectors generally do not like it.
Collectors in 99% of cases do not want to pay $6500 for this machine.
Even $4000 is pushing the limit.
It is a niche product, even for pinball collectors.
So, who is left?
The general public and the operators that make money, which indirectly the reason it was created as an experiment anyway.
Feel free to read more research on the development of this machine in pinball history.
It was never a new concept.
It dates back over a decade+ ago.
This was another attempt at considering a lower cost home style / operator break in machine like the other test beds.
I guess the production costs, "got a little out of hand".
Do you know why Dennis Nordman is not well like right now by Gary Stern?
If it makes operators money overall, great.
It is simpler to maintain than most modern pinball machines, so in that case it is truly a winner, right?
Are you aware of the time required to recoup a $6500 investment on this machine?
It is not in months, it is in YEARS.
Less maintenance = more profit, no doubt.
People are entitled to their opinion, especially when it is informed.
I doubt machine sales of this title will exceed 1500 total, if fortunate.
Personally, I hope Stern can break even, anything less means it was a failure.
There are plenty of other historical examples you can look up on PinSide, if education is preferred.
