Quoted from Rarehero:

I don't think pinball can be revolutionized. I think you can make it cooler. I think you can modernize it...but to me a revolution would cause tons of people outside our hardcore group to give a shit. A revolution would mean that people would be going to arcades again to specifically play pinball. So much so that operators would have to buy multiples of the revolutionary game to keep up with demand. That's just not going to happen, and it just goes back to the fact that the arcade itself as WE grew up with it is an obsolete concept. No one has to go to an arcade to play games. Most go now to win prizes. Unless pinball turns into a redemption machine - it's going to continue to be what it is. A cool game that some people passionately love, and others casually enjoy when one happens to be around.
