Is this even legit? I don’t see any PB logos or anything attaching this to Pinball Brothers. Unless I missed something, this just appears to be a home brew. What store is this? Maybe call them and ask who dropped off this pin?

Bizarre. Is this how you launch a pinball game and then have nothing on your website or official announcement. “Hell with it, let some random people find it and launch it themselves”.
Quoted from TreyBo69:Because it's not a launch? It's probably a sample game that was put into the store and was erroneously shown.
Of course that said, Pinball Brothers have had terrible marketing skills so far.
And they likely can't say much about it because their promotional materials are likely still embargoed/unapproved, if Pinball Brothers was even ready to start showing it off and taking orders.
Can you imagine if Stern did this? Somebody would get fired. How do you accidentally drop off a pin in a Queen store you haven’t announced yet? “Hey I was visiting a toy store at the mall and Stern had Back To The Future pinball sitting in there, not strange at all”
Quoted from Zablon:This is NOT a reveal. This was a promotion for the store, which happened to have it in it and pictures got taken of it. I do not think PB had anything to do with this reveal, and it is more of a 'woops' leak. Chances are this is just an early proto. That being said, i bet the artwork, is what the artwork is...
If this is the first time we are seeing it, isn’t that a reveal?

Or maybe it's not a mistake. Maybe Pinball Brothers missed their own schedule to announce the game, but they had to deliver the one to the store because it's a pop up store with a firm opening and closing date.
It is what it is. It's a small boutique company that has much bigger concerns, like getting stuff built.
Some games leak in advance, like Stranger Things, Hot Wheels, Munsters, and Deadpool. I don't think the leaks made any serious difference when they were officially showed off.
“Hey guys, I accidentally made a mistake and loaded up a 300 pound pinball machine, the one we haven’t released yet, and while driving around with it just happened to run across a Queen store. It just made perfect sense to drop it off there”. Now if you tell me these 2 guys are The Pinball Brothers, we’ll it all makes sense now

This is literally queen promotional stuff being put in the Queen store in collaboration with the people behind Queen merchandise.
Seems like the store did a lot of work with all the merchandise, ads, magazine features. But you don’t think it’s at all strange nothing from the company that made the pin?
Quoted from flynnibus:Strange? No - it just may not be ready to go on sale. Maybe it's just a prototype and the game isn't even finished yet or ready for production. This is a pop-up store promotion. They are getting free press for a 'coming soon' product. No need to try to make up a sales launch - this is just marketing buzz.
Yeah, you’re probably right. I guess we’re talking about it, so they win? 
Quoted from gdonovan:Its non playable, display demo only.
How do you know it’s playable? Was this mentioned somewhere? I’m curious to see what Knapp_Arcade has to say since it appears they were onsite?
Quoted from WJxxxx:It's even displayed on the machine!
Knapp Arcade has not been on site, a friend of his sent a video clip while they were there.

How are you supposed to play a game if it’s disabled?
