Stern has a fine line to work with.
They can sell pins fast & get the sales and the cashflow and do code updates
OR
They can release the game much later like JJP and have a lot of pissed off people who either pull out and get their $ back or stick with their purchase begrudgingly because the game is 12 or 24 months late.
As a consumer, I would rather go with pin now versus later and have code updated.
In a perfect world, Stern could employ more people but I am wondering just how many pinball code people are available to hire these days.
But I hear what you are saying. Code update for Kiss would be great. I am sure it's not too far away.
Just gotta be patient hey-there will be a big update soon. All pinball company's take years to finish there games, I read somewhere that some of the B/W clunkers aren't even finished. Better to have a regular choice :)
