I do suspect the reason for the recent growth will continue for a while (people who grew up with arcades now are at a stage in their life of having a house/money), but once that demographic has been exhausted I don't see a strong way forward for pinball.
Quoted from 5280wzrd:i was just thinking that this may be the last of the game designers. When they are gone/retired what happens then? Is the industry strong enough to get new blood into the pipeline?
All the big designers from WMS should be working with young ones at this stage. It is a crime that they aren't. A "new" designer would probably need to apprentice with an old one for many years and many game designs.
