"I think these Turner games are great games, but they have to be between $6,000 and $7,000. Once he goes north of that, I think he's playing with an empty hand."
Turner games should be priced between $6,000-$7,000 to compete effectively
"Chris Turner, I like the way you run your company. I like your level of transparency... This is the nicest guy in pinball. Like there's not a nicer guy in pinball."
Chris Turner runs his company well with transparency and niceness

Turner Pinball asking for deposits on unproven company with terrible theme
"who the fuck are you guys to say that... you get a game in a box before you take a single dime from anybody... this is so stupid, how did Pinball turn into this, you should only buy a product that's in a box"

Harsh dismissal of Chris Turner and Turner Pinball

Turner Pinball should stop making Ninja Eclipse and focus on Raza instead
"This game had no business being there. It wasn't ready to show off in the company of all of these new games... We don't need another pinball company that has no idea how to manufacture games"
Turner Pinball's Ninja Eclipse had no business being at the show and lacks manufacturing credibility
"And you got to have some guts ladies and gentlemen to make a video in which you're standing in front of the three Raza machines that deeproot Pinball was working on. I have no idea what's coming from Turner Pinball, but my money is it's not going to work out. Karma people karma is a real thing in this world."
Turner Pinball comeback will fail due to karma
"We all know one thing, that Chris Turner and his mission to make a pinball company will not be successful. I'm not like the rest of you. I see people on YouTube being like, good luck. You've got my support. No people. Wake up. This guy is not going to be able to make a pinball company."
