Notable quotes
“They didn't lock this code update behind a costly DLC or topper paywall, which they could have easily done. Instead, Stern released this new code to the thousands of existing Jurassic Park customers for all to enjoy at no extra cost.”
“It is a cash grab. I'd like to think, Dennis, that Stern Pinball, they're givers. And, you know, they're an equal opportunity.”
“The market two weeks ago is drastically different than it is sitting here today. That's a fact. Why it's like that, I don't know. But it is.”
“Two full months, November and December of 2023, right now the only thing that's scheduled is Godzilla Premium.”
“I only report the facts here. And the numbers between the Venom release for operators for us and the release for the last two or three games, almost identical, if not identical.”
