Notable quotes
“I 100% firmly believed that Stern Pinball tried as hard as they could to make an Optimus Prime mech that transforms and interacts with the ball a reality.”
“Godzilla does nothing. Best game of all time. Jaws does nothing. He's the second best game of all time... So maybe if Optimus does nothing, we've got the third best pinball machine of all time coming.”
“There is no way games nothing can hold around like 13 to $15,000. It doesn't exist. It doesn't exist.”
“You got to give Canada credit. The $23,000 for my poke second Pokemon LE is looking like maybe one of the greatest flips of all time.”
“It seems like Stern is accelerating its launch schedule, which is even scarier because what that means is less in these games, less code, less time developing them, less less, less while they charge us more, more more.”
“The constant banging from the ball could damage the intricate internals of the mech. Due to his size, there was a lot of tiny stuff, linkages, and mechanisms inside of him.”
“If you had sold your Pokemon LE spot right away, right away you were getting $5,000 or more on the table. But now there's 32 dudes who had to pay the full $13 plus maybe tax and shipping.”

TL;DR
Kaneda condemns Stern's incomplete game launches and urges community to withhold support until quality improves.
Everyone wants the same thing, but we won't get there if we keep buying right away.
