Is there enough demand for 8K+ pinball machines? I don't think so.

    This Newsome guy is obviously an irked operator who hasn't realized times have changed. Pinball is mostly for the home now...just is. Arcades are mostly dead. I say that a little hesitantly as pinball on location is still biggish in Portland, OR. I will play out in the wild when I can but it's hard to find time to, especially with the family in tow. They don't want to wait for me to play. At home it's so much easier and nicer. You can hear them, they are dialed in, play perfect, beer is readily available, comfortable shitter is twenty feet away. Perfect.

    Quoted from Newsom:

    I'm a player from about '88 on.
    I just operate because that's what pins are supposed to do.

    That's cool if that's what you want to do. If fact, I think that's awesome. But not everyone can do the same. Personally I think pins are supposed to be played. In the home or on location, doesn't matter. Play them! I choose to mostly play at home or in friend's homes.
