Notable quotes
“If they were to do that to me, it would mean that for once it really was the best kept secret in pinball.”
“I really think Multimorphic needs to consider having demos available so that people who own the modules can actually download and try the game. Because just... I would be really pissed if I downloaded Ranger in the Ruins and hated it and had spent $150 and couldn't get a refund and couldn't sell it.”
“The giveaway wasn't a copy of the game. I mean, I would have given away a copy of the game to someone watching. And I think nothing to me quite said, we haven't sold enough P3s yet.”
“I don't think Ranger in the Ruins by itself will help sell units. I think if they've got 15 of these or 20 of these sitting on there... it's like, oh, you don't feel like playing Heist right now, that's cool. We've got this whole other game you can just... key up the menu and go, I want to go play Doodleberry.”
“I don't think it was handled well. I have my rant cap on.”
“Do you think if that leak had not happened that this info dump would have happened? I do not. I don't either.”
“I kind of like this narrow, wide LED because it gives you the feel of the old DMDs while giving you the abilities of the LEDs. So it doesn't look like they just strapped a computer monitor into the back box.”
