Quoted from kaneda:It depends, right? A game that comes off of an assembly line like Stern, yes. They are milking it for these LE's. But JPOP is basically making a hand crafted masterpiece. It's just like cars. You've got $10,000 cars and $1,000,0000 cars now. They all get you from A to B. I'm not sure why pinball all has to be priced the same. Back in the 90's, everything was on an assembly line and games were all meant to be LE's without being LE's. But that industry collapsed. If you want that level of pinball, you know have to pay for all of what goes into making a game like that, but WITHOUT the factories, the huge teams helping out. It's now become an artisan skill that only a few have.
Again, I'm not talking about billboards in Times Square marketing. I'm simply talking about a plan that communicates properly, has a timeline for activities, and builds excitement. I don't see any pinball companies doing this.
It would still add to the cost.. and they are high enough. I think they are all doing fine, or would make changes.
