What did Gary Stern have to say 30 years ago ?
"hey let's copy Williams when they release their new board set. Worked on Bally 10 years ago, lawsuit made us pay $20 per board, way cheaper than R&D"

Gary saw "No future in pinball" in 1983 - He was ready to throw in the towel after the Bally Boardset issues. Luckily, he found something else to copy, and suddenly, pinball is good for Stern again.
I'm grateful Stern are still around - But he is no visionary. Just an astute follower.
