If it's true that a large number of new people recently became interested in pinball or at least recently decided to join the hobby, what drove this interest? I certainly see that there are quite a few new comers on this board. What compelled you?

Don't get me wrong, despite the fact that pin prices have increased recently, I welcome everyone! I've been trying to get my friends into pinball for many years without any success. As far as I'm concerned, the more the merrier.
