I give up. I guess the only thing George has said about it is his one FB post, even though it isn't. For fucks sake.

Hay, it's not that it hasn't been Said, it has. But that's it.
It was Said by someone that Kaneda Said that Gomez Said that someone Said...

Until Gomez has Said.

Someone pulled the plug. Torches and Pitchforks want that Someone!

Because that's all they have!

I'm on board with you guys now. Stern branding didn't want it. Kaneda's story is made up. Stern hates guns. Disney made them do it. you guys solved the mystery. good work.

He actually made several posts in the comments thread... but because Kaneda's FB page is such a mess with his post dumping and FB's horrible search system, it's difficult to locate again.

Which is why most likely people just keep reposting the same screenshot.

Gomez also gave an example of his issues with the Bond game and approvals.

I think the point was Gomez didn't name names... because he knows how to play the game. But it also means it creates questions because the contradictions are so strong.

Seth Davis: I'll answer the question. You want answers?

Cary Hardy: I think I'm entitled to them.

Seth Davis: You want answers?!

Cary Hardy: I want the truth!

Seth Davis: You can't handle the truth!

Here is the source of where that comment from Gomez is coming from:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/35138159505/permalink/10160288784889506/

Its almost as if he posted that before his conversation with George

Wait...I mean yeah! I'm MAD! STERN HATES GUNS!

Don’t like all the crap going on in here, but love your post….!

So I see what happened here. Lionsgate doesn't want Stern to sell any pins! It was all a set up. Lionsgate hates pinball! Burn the witches with knives and torches and stuff, but not guns.

STOP GAS LIGHTING US

Because those Arcade 1UP people like myself are now getting into pinballs. Stern is not dumb. For the business to thrive, you need new money from new players. I actually sold most of my arcades to make room for pinballs. Some of the YT pinball peeps turn me off. I want to watch videos about the game itself or modding. I don't need the opinion. I don't watch Cary for a reason. The uproar in this thread is crazy because of no guns. Personally, the field looks amazing to me and I love the color layout. I love JW movies and enjoy them all. But when it comes to pinball, I just want to see how it plays. That's all. No need to have all these 2nd Amendment or wokeness in a machine. Isn't that what playing pinball is all about? I can't wait to see Mods from Stumblor and others on this.

Seems straight forward legal BS. I think it is silly, doesn't upset me. At the very least I'd consider an alternate translite and a alternate weapon case plastic to get some in there. Mostly interested in how it plays at this point which I hope to see more of this afternoon.

This thread reminds me of why I often haven't participated here much over the years . Anyway, can't wait to get my LE and see the art and shots in person. My wife especially is excited for it, and opted for this over Jaws for now (though I'm still trying to get one of those, too). Oddly, she had as strong a reaction toward Jaws leaving Brody off the art as many in this thread have shown toward the guns, but after seeing it played for a while, moved on from it.

I think this quote is more in the, might quell some of the uptightness realm:

Thx - that explains why I was struggling.. he put that same post on his own page and of course the comments are different. In going backwards, I went to the wrong page.

No matter how many times it's said, folks will argue some kind of conspiracy or the woke gestapo is coming for their freedom of pinball rights

I am one of those 1Up guy. I also know others who are like me and do have the means to get into this hobby. The reason? Arcade 1UP hasn't produced new games for awhile. Some are just rehash. So we're bored and looking for new hobby to get into. Some bought pinballs and talked about them in their videos. That's how it caught my attention. I am new to this hobby and have bought 5 pinballs so far. Will add more this year. Just put down my deposit for JW Premium. My wife and kids love pinballs now.

Looking forward to seeing the 'kills'. It's what differentiates a John Wick from say a Bruce Lee. John Wick's an Assassin, he'll kick ass with Nunchuck's but then put a bullet through the head afterwards to finish. Like a Finish Him! 'Fatality' move in Mortal Kombat.

I doubt it, but I think many will probably be watching that LCD closely during the stream for the first time. After all, it was designed for the spectator right? Who cares about the game now?

No sticker shock after moving on from those 1up cheapies?

Thanks for taking the time to dig those up, instead of berating people for not keeping up with the thread (which unless I'm mistaken didn't actually include these additional responses from Gomez, or at least not as clearly...)

Appreciated, hopefully that puts this to rest and both sides can move on.

Looking forward to the gameplay stream - so I can come here and complain about the PG video footage after, lol.

Right. Kill the enemies, but not with a gun. BC that would be bad. Got it.

Glad to hear it! Welcome to the darkside. 1up is fine for what it is, but I think a lot of people realize over time that there’s just nothing like the real thing. I have a Rampage 1up and it’s fun enough, but it’s never going to feel like the original that I can play at the local arcade.

Ok so less than hour until Stern makes yet another generation of Pinside Social Injustice Warriors look stupid by indulging in the un-woke act of ingesting beer on camera.

Well, maybe it'll be Bud Light!

Again, Screen shot where he said LIONSGATE.
Has no problem calling in plain english Bonds rules, Never wants to say Lionsgate.

The more nonsense I see here, the more I want this game.

Will she move on from the 3500 loss you guys will take on this John Wick LE Purchase?

WOKE!!!

Everyone posting stuff I thought obviously dumb was right all along!!!1

Where does it says Lionsgate?

Oh yes. My first one was a sticker shock. It was a Home Edition Comic SW. I love SW. My next two were Godzilla Pro and Stranger Things Pro. But as I watched videos and then played pinballs at Expo and at my local breweries, I decided to collect Premium only. I can't speak for others but my main issue is space, not money. I can add about 10 more pinballs in my basement. I figure if my wife can buy new handbags, why can't I with pinballs? Each of her handbag is about same price as a Pro or more. I come to this forum to read news and mods and such. Didn't think people will bring politics into this hobby. We don't have this issue over at Arcade 1UP. We talk about the arcades and modding only.

Emulator communities have been a big source of folks going into arcade machine collecting. They play their memories, classic games, nostalgia overload, they then move onto stuff like building cabs and also in some cases getting into collecting even the real things.

I don't think price is that much of a factor when I've seen plenty of game rooms posted on social media that cost a small fortune, and then see they are packed with 1up units. They clearly got the dough, it's all about finding those who got the money and looking to trade up to the real deal.

This dude gets it!

Have fun, keep it light, and enjoy pinball. It's really so much easier than being absolutely miserable and angry, ain't it?

Anyone in this for an investment is quite daft. Thank you for the positive comment, though.

Checkmate

I haven't seen the much bashing since TS4 lol

Still waiting for him to say LIONSGATE.

Honestly, I wasn't sure we weren't just going to watch 1-3 nut punches in a row every time until I read that quote.

Anyways, I just think Gomez talking about killing people does more positive than whatever the hell the rest of the quotes are supposed to do.

Thank you for pulling all of that together.

Did you frequent the GTF thread.

I've officially stopped being able to recognize when people are being satirical in this thread.

While expected, Staircase and Duel? Can't wait!

I mean that Eat The Ball stuff wasn't initially funny, but the more people said it, that Lionsgate guy is on to the next big thing.

A vast majority of the people on here are very friendly and helpful. They're also usually smart enough not to be hanging in this thread. But even the ones who seem like lunatics on either side are more than willing to help with tech support, and such in other threads. Very non-judgmental and help people at all levels. It's sorta like The Purge in this thread.

Pinball in Not a investment. It is a competitive entertainment machine. Stern needs to get away from the LEs because people like think it means a investment to sell it for a profit right away.

This. People love to trash each other and the games with differing opinions, but in the end, most everyone here is welcoming and helpful if you need it. Decades of knowledge to be found here.
