Kineticist’s take
Stern delays James Bond to Q3 2024; Zombie Yeti hired full-time; industry shifts to production grind.
Synopsis
The The Pinball Show discusses Stern's production schedule delays, with James Bond potentially pushed to Q3 2024, while noting the industry transition from announcement hype to actual build-and-ship mode. Stern officially hires Zombie Yeti as full-time art director; Spooky teases a possible The Princess Bride game via Easter egg; Dutch Pinball partners with Art of Pinball for sculpts. Hosts debate market trends, manufacturer capacity constraints, and FOMO erosion from production delays.
