DPP #250 "Calm Down Everybody!"

23 min listenBy donald garrison

TL;DR

Don argues community outrage over Bon Jovi reveal stems from unmet expectations, not bad game design.

This has been the strangest week in pinball. What is going on? Everyone is angry, accusing each other of leaking this, or trashing that. We got 3 new pinball releases this week and we all need some time to process.No one is making you buy anything. Let's just breathe and play some games. There's bigger issues out there than this.It's an appeal to sanity everybody! Myself included.
