    Quoted from PoMC:

    I haven't noticed the ads since I'm not a frequent visitor to the marketplace. But what irks me is the weird "robot mascot" and odd graphics used in the marketing. I feel like I have zero clue what each product is supposed to do when looking at the overly complex graphics in the product description.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

    Me too, but feel the pain of folks that do frequent the marketplace. Totally agree that all the weird images do little to help his cause. Just seems like the guy enjoys fiddling with this stuff. From my perspective, “less is more”.

    There is a “thread” on Pinside dedicated to Scott’s customers/followers and his overzealous marketing is in full swing there as well. To be honest, the marketing to his fans has been a big turnoff. Scott is a great guy and does a great job supporting his customers. I just think he needs to “dial down” the marketing.

    Quoted from Shapeshifter:

    If people want to waste their money, that's their choice.
    However, fast forward to 36 minutes and beyond and is there anyone who seriously believes this game looks better with the Xmas lighting?
    I am disappointed that such a great tournament puts these on their games. Perhaps it's worth us all paying an extra dollar NOT to put them on?!

    You know whose opinions matter the most? The Pinburgh players. I have a hard time believing they would use the Pinstadium’s if players had strong opinions about them (in terms of negatively effecting play).

    Quoted from Whysnow:

    It would be great if they sent out a questionnaire.
    From talking with others, the consensus is pretty clear that people would prefer ALL aftermarket crap to be left off, but esp the pinstadium junk.
    Zebra light distracting junk and now with the verified possibility of parts falling off games and impacting competition and causing games to go down... pretty sure give the risk v reward that the majority were pick NO for pinstadiums on competitive games.
    Sure, let the guy pay sponsorship, but dont force the junk on games.

    I have some Pinstadium’s and having them fall off has been a big “gotcha” that I didn’t anticipate! Scott has supported me, however it’s been a PITA. I see Pinstadium Hover’s as the “bug fix”, however Scott is charging $40 IIRC for the new/improved mounts. Considering the price of the product, it’s a huge slap in the face to his existing customers. I’ve voiced this on the other Pinstadium thread and didn’t get much sympathy. I refuse to pay $40 for the bug fix and don’t plan anymore Pinstadium purchases until Scott changes his strategy. I don’t mind paying “up” for great products, however Pinstadium’s magna-mounts were buggy from day 1.
