Quoted from thedefog:Definitely not. Just the outlet is so different now that it is a very hard sell, as playing them on location isn't so easy. They're not producing 8000 of a title based on a trial run at a few locations anymore, they're producing in the hundreds with nothing other than some web content and a few protos at pin shows. I still think it would be a good idea for all these companies to make like 10 prototypes to gauge reaction and put them on location, instead of just doing the pinball show tours. It would definitely give some more real world feedback, not sugar coated.
True. Complicated rules and no money inserted v. simple rules and money inserted. It's two different worlds. Of course Heighway has first to look to home buyers but medium to long term the outside world will be needed.
