I understand that we all want to draw comparisons on how everyone else produces their games. Drawing analogies with Bally Williams games puts things right in perspective. How many code updates did ST TNG need ? None. One of the deepest rule sets combined with engineering that was the pinnacle at that time. The game worked. It was only lazy technicians that could not fix the complex arrangement on this game.

But I digress..

I spent $11,500 on a game that has waited, since unboxing, for a code update to fix the sound / music. This is a music themed pinball. Imagine you bought a CD that kept skipping. You would take it back and have it replaced. You would not accept it and just "look" at the CD cover ?

Stern have had 6 months. What have they done for buyers of the KISS machine ? Spent time and money on a redundant over priced topper ? Released side armor and shooter knobs ?

What about finishing the game so we can enjoy it, rather than look at it ?

Before I bought my game, I knew it would be unfinished code - but what have they done ? Incorporated a Bill dispenser and a crappy topper ? What about fixing the sound issue ? Maybe a couple of updates (Like TWD - which vastly improved the game). Why are they spending so much time on GOT updates ? Every second week there's a update..

I love looking at my KISS LE - But that's all it is good for at the moment. Great sales pitch for buyers that considered the game and passed.
