[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 288523, member: 134"] My understanding is there are a couple of key people at Stern trying to open Gary’s eyes to technology as it applies to gaming, but Gary hasn’t really processed the potential. He can see the now and doesn’t want to repeat mistakes of the past, which in and of itself can be a roadblock to the future. I’m sure he waived off what JJP was planning with their backglass, only to realize later that Stern needed to play catch-up. Tech moves at a blistering pace, and you can’t just sit idly by. The cab Arcooda has been working sounded really great 2 years ago when I first heard what it could do. It still hasn’t come to market as they seem intent on getting everything just right first. The cabs Zen was parading around 2 years ago certainly couldn’t do what the Arcooda cabs were advertising, but at least they were shipping. Zen is now going to drop these monster cabs into the commercial realm, which was Arcooda’s main target all along, before Arcooda does. Being first to market is huge, especially when in terms of pinball you’ve got the better software that’s in active development. Arcooda was looking good with customizable side cab LED lighting, but Zen is doing full motion video. Tech favors the bold is what I’m trying to say. Btw, there are aspects I know privately about the Arcooda cab that are indeed exciting, but it was supposed to ship last December. They haven’t even brought it to any trade shows. I’m worried for them. Zen is thinking a bit outside the box (not just with their cab). People have been pushing Gary to think outside the box too. Like a Ven diagram, hopefully there’s some overlap and then it’s off to the races. [/QUOTE]
