Summary
Eclectic Gamers reviews 2023 stats, then analyzes new Jaws pinball design and Stern CEO strategy shift.
Dennis and Tony discuss 2023 podcast statistics showing 44,400+ plays (14% increase), then pivot to pinball news dominated by the Jaws 50th Anniversary reveal from Stern. The game features Keith Elwin design with Richard Dreyfuss call-outs, three-flipper Pro and four-flipper Premium/LE models with upper playfield, captive ball mechanics, and thematic toys. CEO Seth Davis confirmed Stern's return to three cornerstone games per year, discontinued art-style LE variants, and openness to vault revivals if licensing permits.
Pinball: We go over the Stern Pinball Jaws reveal and also touch on some other Stern information. Video Games: We go over someone "beating" Tetris, Twitch updating their nudity policy (again), Square Enix and their plans for AI, Baldur's Gate 3 and troubles with the Xbox version, and a $48,000 DLC pack of Star Citizen.
