Quoted from Aurich:You're missing the point. It's an EIGHT THOUSAND dollar pinball machine. I'm not breaking down the BOM, or what Riot is making off of it. I'm telling you what I expect for that kind of money. And that includes a color display, color changing LEDs (and rules that incorporate them) and I can't add them to my machine later for a few hundred dollars.
The BOM and price isn't my problem. If Scott basically designed a game that's not sellable then so be it. But the question was why aren't people buying it. And the answer is it's too much money.
People pay 8K for pinball machines every day that do not have anything of the things that you say are critical at the price point. It's more timing and RIOT not having the start up money. AMH looks cool and I'd like to own one but if it's a 6K machine I can easily see WOOLY as an 8K machine. If you could just buy a WOOLY they would likely steadily be moving much like AMH. It's the preorder model more then BOM, price, LCD, LED's, etc. If you could just order one and have it within 3 months I htink they would sell 100 no problem.
