Personally, I can't wait till my Internet of Pinballs machine is AlwaysOn™. Forced updates that brick or change the machine without consent, hacked patch servers that load botnet malware, DRM that limits the number of plays, unblockable ads between games... that is, until my toaster accidentally locks the PinballBus and the game doesn't work at all. When I call up Stern support I get "Rich", who can barely piece together the sentence he's spoon feeding me, and I hang up after 2 hours of frustratingly trying to explain that my game doesn't work, and no turning it off for 30 seconds and back on doesn't work. After I hang up the phone I think back to where it all went wrong, when pinball was so much less complex and the Pinside user Darscot lead Stern into the future of corporate copycat freemium milkbaggery.
