"the predator issues that Arnold's not in it. That's it. That's it You can't make that movie without Arnold. He's like he's so omnipresent in it"

Predator's main issue is that Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't in it - you can't make that movie without him

"Like, when you make a game like Predator with no Arnold in it, and you basically are charging $12 to $15,000 for it with tariffs, you gotta like remember it. Like that should have been killed in the conference room before any real money or effort was put behind making it. You can't make Predator without Arnold. It's that simple."

Predator pinball without Arnold Schwarzenegger is fundamentally flawed

"They haven't even sold 200 out of 800. They barely sold a hundred to 150. This means to me they're done. How are they going to move on past this? How are they going to absorb this failure?"

Pinball Brothers Predator is a commercial failure

"They did not sell 650. What I heard is they sold around 100. Maybe 150. I heard they're only going to make 300. This could be the end of the pinball brothers."

Predator pinball without Arnold Schwarzenegger won't work

"I feel like this could be a company killer. I do. I don't know if they can recover from this. They haven't had a hit game. They finally got a theme. People want it, but it's not executed in a way that's going to be a hit."

Predator could be a company killer for Pinball Brothers due to poor execution

"This game is a 7500 dollar game. I mean, there is much less in this game than alien. There's much less to shoot at. There's much less assets in this game. It's much less interesting than alien."

"Dead on arrival. You make predator one without Arnold in it. It is the stupidest thing you could ever do."

Predator without Arnold is dead on arrival and overpriced

"If you get the jungle package and you get the game itself, it's like $12,500. Then it's $2,000 for tariffs. So that's $14,500. Then you have to add another $1,000 for shipping if you wanted air freighted to you. So you're $15,500 for a game, people, for one game"

Predator pinball is overpriced at $15,500 all-in with insufficient content

Predator will be dead on arrival without Arnold

"I know that jang is knows that Arnold is not in predator, but he won't say anything see what we could ask him right now live hey jang is. Yes or no is Arnold in predator right and it's like the silence. Means he's not in it because if he was in it, he says say yes, right? Why wouldn't you say yeah? Of course I got it's predator"

Arnold Schwarzenegger is not in the Stern Predator pinball game

"If Arnold's not in predator, not buying the game. That's simple. I don't want to buy transformers without Optimus Prime. I don't want to buy Batman without Batman.

Strong negative stance on Predator pinball without Arnold Schwarzenegger

Predator pinball must have Arnold Schwarzenegger or it's not worth buying

"People are basically saying Predators going to be terrible because Queen and ABBA were lackluster. And they haven't changed anyone on the team. So if you were to ask me, that's a game where I think if you are saying it's going to be bad, you're most likely going to be right."

Pinball Brothers likely to make another bad game with Predator due to unchanged team and poor track record

"If they make Predator without Arnold, they will hardly sell any of these. It's that simple."

Predator from Pinball Brothers will only succeed if Arnold Schwarzenegger is in the game

"I'm gonna buy predator because I love that movie it's probably my favorite Arnold movie... I think the game's gonna be terrible.

Predator will likely be bad due to in-house design at Pinball Brothers

"I will own this game even if the design is not great, even if the art is not great, even if the layout isn't incredible. I will own this game... I'm going to own this game on theme alone."

Extremely positive stance on Predator pinball theme - will buy regardless of game quality

Predator would be an instant buy regardless of execution quality

"I think that Tim probably left money on the table... I wouldn't have traded it for pirates the Caribbean collectors and here's another reason why I wouldn't have done that. Pirates the Caribbean collectors edition the price of that game will only head south."

Trading Predator pinball for Pirates of the Caribbean collectors edition was a bad deal that left money on the table
