Quoted from heryworm:I am an operator and tried a couple games from Spooky in my arcade. The build quality is just not there yet to support heavy usage on route. They had constant issues. Hopefully soon. Spooky makes beautiful games with great artwork and decent game play. Unfortunately that is not enough for what I need it to be.
I also bought a ACNC and after receiving it the game restarted itself after every 5th game or so. Boom. Just like that. Over and over. I contacted Spooky about it and they told me right away that they know about this issue and that they are working on a solution. Well, that was almost 3 months ago and nobody has contacted me yet. They could have let me know that they are aware of this issue prior to shipping this game to me and at least ask me if I am ok with getting a game that restarts itself every 2nd game and sometimes during game play, right? I mean, the game is pretty useless to me as an operator if it's not working right. Pretty shitty if you ask me.
R+M looks good and I will probably have one soon but it will not be a NIB. I think that R+M will be on the secondary market for mid to low 5k in about 6 months just like any other Spooky game.
To me this is the number one reason; reading about this and some other unresolved issues (like the callouts) for ACNC made jumping on Rick and Morty a no go for me. I don't expect every game to ship flawlessly out of the box but for them to be in that state still hurts.
I have also been around long enough to see the hype cycle with these things. First the initial excitement, then the relentless memeing mixed with people getting hyped and patting each other on the back for getting a game number assigned to them, followed by months of speculation and frustration, followed by initial shipments with some disappointments here and there, followed by people selling their spots "for personal reasons".
