Quoted from Bmad21:

OK at what age does someone have a say about pinball?
What age do you Palmer think what someone gets to have an opinion or say as to do in pinball.
30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90?
I'm on the lower end of millinials some might say Gen z generation.
Meanwhile the complaints about the hobby dying and someone chirps up a suggestion and their blasted down.
Granted they maybe some stupid ideas from my generation and the one bellow me. But to outright dismiss is stupid.
Can their be at least debate on what pinball could mean for us while "the old farts" let the younger generation enjoy their own space.
Orginal ideas has broad appeal across a whole host of age groups and markets.
Ghost busters may mean something to someone who grew up on Dan A. Humor but what about to someone born 2002.
Here's an idea, let's start scourcing from within.
Texas instruments, Microchip.
Wood.
Metal by recycling cars and stuff we don't need.
Instead of buying dedicated cabinets have the option to have interchangeable playfeilds.
Can't fit? have small table top themes and scale.
Stop selling limited quantities and most of all end scalping and flipping is ok in some instances.

I appreciate some of the points made here. There are some really cool things happening already in the hobby. Kinda why I finally decided to order a P3. Throw your money at the change you want to see. Want to see flippers keep raising prices? Keep challenging them by paying more and more for the same depreciated product.
