Freaking made the same mistake!

Looks like they're going to make RCT so that it can finally be true.

What mistake? So what can finally be true? Maybe it's because I have a bad head cold but your post reads like it's in code.

lol, and B.King mentioned EBD as one table valuable to make it in his interview near half year ago..and where/when it is/will be?

Rct was never mentioned.

^ this!

I watched the whole thing and rewatched the farsight portion twice, agreed RCT never mentioned, unless there's some fancy editing I missed. Gary Stern is quite the salesman though!

The interviewers obvious opening for Gary to mention JJP went to Gary and he basically called him a hobbyist and wouldn't acknowledge his existence, maybe after a few more releases, lol.

Maybe the op got confused between RCT and Ripleys..

 

[Bowflex]

Yeah, that's one heck of a hobbyist! JJP has more innovation in their table than stern has introduced since they began producing tables under the stern name. In reality, stern seems to be running scared and taking an almost hostile approach towards them. Gary stern does have quite a way with words though and really does a good pitch.

At 5:55 he mentioned RBION... which (coincidentally enough) I now own!

And he didn't mention Jersey Jack at all, lol

He mentions RCT in a different video.

For all the money and time Stern puts into promoting "The Pin" and making vague comments about joint design with TPA, I am left with a weird feeling that there will be a sequel to "The Pin" that will be the game developed to be released at the same time in digital and physical form. Gary Stern is always pushing the "we want pinball games in as many people homes as possible" angle while marketing "The Pin" as the best option for people to get into pinball as a first time buyer.

Given the influence TPA has had on the price and demand for RBION I could totally see Stern utilizing their connection with TPA as a way to further market "The Pin" and get more people interested in it. There is very little chance for players to see it in the wild otherwise as it is developed as a HUO game.

He's a good sales man but he's also a moron.

If he wants to get pinball into as many homes as possible STOP INCREASING THE ****ING PRICES AND LOWERING QUALITY.
