What you lose in accuracy Pinsanity, you make up for it with wit at least.
Certainly entertaining although mostly not factual.
I enjoy all the Star Trek tie ins. That was clever.
Sometimes I get confused if you are constantly describing yourself in your posts or the other member. Lol

Also, only the people who actually site pinball machines really know what returns the Sterns bring in.
Stating they don't make profits is not factual.

Also, most of us know that if you buy a BNIB Stern for 8 grand, selling it a week later or a year later or 5 years later if the machine is in good condition will bring you 5 plus grand second hand cause most machines hold a pretty good resale value if they appear like new. So if the machine earns 3 grand over a 2 year period the person siting has broken even. Anything over that is profit.

Even taking into consideration profit sharing from sited income, people siting machines are not going to buy Stern title after Stern title and site them unless they can make a profit.
There are operators who have been operating pinballs for many many years. It is hard to believe they keep investing big dollars into machinery that is not making them a profitable return.

The comment about a John Borg designed Stern is spot on.
He is the best of the best and has been in my opinion for a very very longtime.

I just think Gane of Thrones maybe got rushed a little to kill JJP Hobbitt sales.
I don't think SRitchie has lost his magic.
GOT is certainly a different way of doing things.
Maybe some pinball collectors will like and warm to very different versus traditional and safely predictable.

It's early days for GOT. Will be interesting to see how this one pans out.
Even the Stern die hard fans in some of us can't like every title in a row.
This is the first one in a long time I haven't liked straight away.
