Notable quotes
“It's going to be compared to J.J.P.'s Guns N' Roses immediately, and I just cannot fathom that visually it will live up.”
“Nine times out of ten, I honestly think Stern's play better.”
“Just because something is legal doesn't always make it moral.”
“Thanks to evolution, pinball fanatics have naturally evolved knee pads for pinball companies.”
“You're not a convicted felon if you get convicted of doing something. You know, usually you do a takedown thing and you don't get legally punished at all.”
“If everything goes forward the way it's looking going forward, I can almost guarantee you that modern pinball is dead on streaming.”
“A music pin, without you being able to experience the songs, well, it's like going to a rock concert with earplugs and sound-canceling headphones on top of them.”
“There's a big difference where you might be going, ah, the worst thing that's going to happen is Twitch is going to cancel my account, which to a lot of streamers, y'all, that's the end of their livelihood.”
