Notable quotes

The Pinball Network is coming in hot to the end of the year and to the start of 2022 in a very big way. We are announcing today...we have done a terrific job in building a network of media and content creation for all of you.
Zach Minney
Stern Pinball is now fully supporting the TPN dedicated streaming channel. And I couldn't be happier with the number one manufacturer for 20-plus years, saying we love what you guys are doing and we want to be a part of this.
Zach Minney
The owners have given year-end bonuses to each and every employee of Jersey Jack Pinball. This is sure to help push the teams to continue to make the great games that have been coming out of that factory.
Ken Rudberg
Haggis kind of built a name for itself on being really transparent with updates and my understanding is the updates quit coming and when you change behavior like that, people are going to get gun-shy.
Dennis Creasel
Fathom will be going ahead as soon as all the parts have arrived. I'm so sure that I'm in on number one on the Fathom Mermaid Edition.
Dr. John
Godzilla, with lots of new goodies in that code as Stern continues to add and develop their latest absolute monster of a game.
Craig Bobby
At minimum, there's going to be five nights a week that you're going to see a stream on the TPN streaming channel...we're looking at filling every single night of the week.
Zach Minney
We're going to be streaming...we're going to be multicasting across Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch simultaneously. And then after that show is over, it's going to be uploaded on demand onto the pinballnetwork YouTube page.
