There are a handfull of software designers in pinball. Based on Sterns current direction, perhaps Lyman's talent can best be utilized elsewhere.
I dont think that would be the demise of Stern.

Phutz (Bill Phutzenreuter), who also has a stunning record develpoing pinball software, has been out of it since Williams as far as I know. In fact I believe he is/was involved in telecom afterward.

One person cannot make or break a largely collaborative effort. Why do people overblow everything?

You seem surprised? Stern cut their designers and reuse a lot of concepts (which economically makes great sense for them AND operators) so the next logical step was software.

The word was that Lyman gave notice, NOT that he was let go.

I disagree.  Look at BDK/IJ4, most people would not buy the game because the software sucks.  Now that they finished BDK more people are buying.  Isn't Stern's business to sell games?  I agree that the effort will go on but it will be more difficult with out a asset like Lyman.  If they go cheap on the software and game play where do you go from that?  Look at IM it's a great game but it at the limit of cuts that I am willing to accept.  Can you imagine IM with software like IJ4?

just my .02

I deal with enough corporate executive bullshit in a day to know that someone can be "pushed" out.

Regardless, it's a bummer... but not all that dramatic. I feel bad for Lyman. No one wishes to be in a tight position. I sincerely hope he left for something better.



... so Donnie, when does Lyman start as your assistant?
