Quoted from KJS:I love tinkering with all my custom games and mods etc. I find it therapeutic to be in my garage working away on pinball. I also love helping others do their custom stuff and parts etc. I love talking to and meeting like minded people around the world also and get an insight to life around our planet. I love casual get togethers with great friends as well which I try to do every month or so. I love the art and sound and the tactile nature of pinball more than actually playing. I'm an average player at best.
I have zero interest in podcasts, competitions, meets, social media identities, new game hype and the greedy and obnoxious people in the industry and hobby.
So ...life is good. I am down to about 6 games now from 24 at one stage which seems great.... cycled through almost all of the A Listers. About to get my first EM..C37...which I am excited about purely on the beauty of it.
So I think burnout is avoidable, especially if you block out the aspects you don't like in the hobby which I have done.

This sounds like me. I don’t really play much anymore I just like working on them and cleaning them up. Let other people play them.
I don’t buy NIB anymore or run out to locations to play the newest games
