that situation was a little different. They had 50 league players feeding tokens into 7 machines monthly, and it's kind of hard to have a tournament when things aren't working (or when things break in the middle of a tournament, how do you make scoring fair?). I just don't think management realized what league play really meant.

As far as gameworks, it's been the lowest number of pins I've ever seen, but I also understand the financial aspect of it which is fine. I just won't be spending my money there unless there's something worth playing (they could have at least kept metallica, I KNOW that was a money maker, it's almost always being played).

That's really sad. When I was on vacation in portland I stopped by ground kontrol. Most of the pins were in good working order except scared stiff (EOS switch went bad, wouldnt' allow the right flipper to stay up). I didn't bother complaining to management, I made a comment on yelp.com, and within 12 hours they replied to me and said they got it fixed and were sorry it was having issues.

It's really sad pinball is better upkept in Portland than Chicago, the very city where most pins are manufactured today (and put on test). Time to move

Every arcade should do this then.. Heck, create a twitter account called "@gameworksschaumburg", let people tweet problems, opinions, what they'd like to see. It's probably tougher when you have drop everything and help that person right now. Doing it online might help prioritize which issues are important.
