    Quoted from Luppin:

    Sounds like a good idea really! Well, in order to bring back pinball I mean of course. All lights should be off in attract mode: a non-attractive attract mode, only showing ads.. The ads stops when you begin playing. And as you said ads between balls and a minimum amount of time between games. Or even after 3 lock, before multiball starts. Ads coulb be custom made and somehow slightly linked to what's going on during the action! So you could make ads "interesting". It could be also done as in JM, where you are told some code or numbers (during the ad), that need to be remembered to achieve certain things during gameplay. And probably still the dear old coin slot for ad-free play..
    Wow.. Great idea!

    Wait a second, let's get back to thinking like players rather than thinking like operators... that sounds like HELL, and would ruin pinball just like developers ruined mobile gaming and console gaming with "freemium" games.

    Quoted from Luppin:

    Of course without ads is much better, no question. But we are talking about extreme measures to bring back pinball to new generations.

    and *not make them hate it*...

    You make it sound like they/we enjoy the ads!

    Money isn't the problem, quarters didn't magically disappear from teenagers' pockets, you have to change the game or draw them in - not just make it free. Pinball isn't dying because people are cheap.

    Someone had a Gottlieb Hollywood Heat at with an alternate GTA translite in it at the Pintastic show this past year.
