Well personal story. I just sold off all of my machines and I feel absolutely miserable now. I don't regret selling them because it opened up funds for other machines but I miss having pinball around. They are as much art as they are fun. When I'm in the mood to play pinball there is no other replacement. There's just that urge of wanting to play and being immersed in the game. I don't get that with video games or many other hobbies. The only thing game wise I would probably rather do is play ping pong.
