    its not about anyone on this site buying games. If route ops stop that's an issue and I'm not talking about the "I have 1 game on route" route op. I'm talking about real ops who make a living at this not a hobbyist.

    Quoted from Mike_J:

    Aside from Silver Ball, all of the operators in my area say the same thing. The ROI on new machines is terrible and too much maintenance is involved. The same operators are running 50-100 cranes in a single location.

    Yeah but you are in NJ, this is about non-US markets. Locations are dead for the most part in the US and the few existing ones are the "I have one or 2 machines on route" type. There are not a lot of large scale pin ops in the US. The foreign market is a higher % of route ops still.
