"I don't think we're going to see Dutch pinball number two... people have only like I think like less than 50 people have gotten the game two years later after reveal"

"I guarantee you, and the same thing is true with Alien, when people are fed up with Stern's quality and you're asking $8,000 for a Stern and you're not happy, that money would shift right to Dutch immediately."

"I just got to scratch my head and wonder like, can these guys last? Can they last?

Dutch Pinball's $1450 air shipping cost is excessive and likely a money grab

"How can Dutch pinball not be financially hurting. They basically over the last two years have redesigned the big Lebowski... Where is that money coming from?"

Dutch Pinball's financial model doesn't make sense with constant redesigns
