No way they add more playfield mechs, they have had the stern version of the old sega/data east? trough lock (stops the balls falling out the trough when lifted up into the service position) designed for ages and still it’s not been added, watch that be a big Spike 3 feature.Stern wont drop prices.. but if people wont pay the new prices then a few ideas..
*Stern will sweeten the bitter pill by spending a bit more on BOM and put a few more mechs in games to justify price. What’s another $20 to get that extra $3K
* Limit LE games back down to 250-500 to get that FOMO.. this may work for some themes but already proven LIMITED EDITION isn’t worth the plaque it’s written on…
*DLC code will take over.. games realeased bare bones and every update will cost $10..
They will add fake value though where they can so what about raising the prices agsin which seems to have happened with Jurassic park 30th and was rumoured to happen officially with Elwins next release.
However they include toppers with LEs? Would that sway you Dave, as your a topper addict, would it be enough? Ultimately as long as their distributor network continues to take all the risk why would Stern change?
