Quoted from Hazoff:

I hope neither, why would I want to play the same games. Pinball will evolve I think and hope, to the point where our current pins seem primitive, obviously the basic elements will always be there but if MM is #1 still in the year 2020 then I won't be in the hobby anymore. I feel things are finally starting to really progress with the likes of the newest Stern's and JJP etc. and I hope with the exception of hard-core collectors who can still enjoy EM's which no offense "suck" that we will be slowly on our way to real life Pinball FX2 or better. If not pinball will suffer another crash to which it will not recover. We must evolve or die. Anyway have fun playing pinball.

Obviously your to young to understand the beauty and sounds of EM pins and the memories that they provoke in people. To make the statement they "suck", shows the level of your immaturity. ( No Offense)
To answer the OP's question: I guess for me, being 61. What I will like best is if I'm still walking on this planet and playing pinball period, and not taking a dirt nap.

Quoted from Hazoff:

No disrespect meant, and I'm old enough to have played EM's in the arcades so to that point you are wrong sir but for me they are not fun after the likes of dmd pins old and new, even the 80's SS are much more fun to play but that's me. I have many friends who play pinball and grew up with em's who would not have any interest in playing them anymore. I'm glad you enjoy them just stated my opinion.

I apologize Hazoff.. I think I was having a moment so to speak and shouldn't have jumped on you like that. I also enjoy the new pins very much. They play much faster and all the lights and sounds are great. Then you play an EM and things slow down. But, that is good also... The sounds of the chimes and bells evoke great memories for me as kid. I guess I like them all..As I've just started in owning a pin, I'm going to hopefully have a mix of all era's. Like a friend told me, the more people that don't like EM's the better. That makes them cheap and affordable to buy, and that's the way I like it. lol
