Kineticist’s take
Don reassesses John Wick pinball favorably after livestream, discusses Stern delays and distributor dynamics.
Synopsis
Don discusses the John Wick pinball release from Stern, reflecting on how gameplay livestreams improved his initial impression of the game's mechanics (car bash toy, weapons crate, drop target). He covers accessory delays, Venom LE scarcity concerns, distributor sales uptick post-livestream, and announces a first-play livestream event at IO Arcade in Madison on May 13th. He also critiques Pinburgh Entertainment's Funhouse remix teaser strategy and expresses skepticism about its market appeal compared to other classic remakes.
