Quoted from Hazoff:Oh no ur one of them
Its dies with us sir. Kids r glued to their phones and video game consoles. Not gonna happen. If it does survive it will be through those channels, most likely 100% virtual.
I agree with this. The amount of kids with exposure to pinball is really tied to the speck on the radar that is we hobbyists....and not all those kids are picking up on it. My own could care less. They would play a bit when they were younger, but they have moved on as young adults to other interests. Online entertainment, the boy is interested in cars, his girl, college, the daughter is experimenting with one musical instrument after another. Kids just don't play pinball and I can't see younger generations sustaining this hobby. As far as Covid killing the hobby - it may have caused an upswing as far as in home entertainment at the moment, but ultimately it could kill the hobby - by killing the economy or killing the consumers in it.
