It's a good lesson in marketing and communication actually. They should have announced prior to the pseudo reveal that the YBR wouldn't have a monkey, explain why they made that decision (and there was clearly tons of valid explanations, money, parts, reliability...) instead of letting people fantasize on the ultimate limited edition of a fantastic machine.
There can only be disappointment once the reality hits.
Quoted from spinal:Hi Pinballomatic, thanks for your post. Do you personally feel it’s OK for a company to remove a mech for reliability reasons from one version and include it in other versions that they sell? I think this is the first time for this industry. What is your honest opinion on this Pinballomatic?
What if they simply couldn’t get monkeys delivered on time, had an empty production line and needed to sell machines quickly to keep the business going.
