Quoted from wayout440:It must be me then. I see just the opposite. My many nieces and nephews ranging from around roughly age 10 to 20-something have played a couple of games at family gatherings and that's about it. They are not "seeking out" any pinball on location at all. My older two in their twenties have NEVER had an interest at all in playing. My other younger two play a few here and there, but not much.
The folks that are playing more often at our gatherings are my brothers, sisters, and friends that are in their forties and up...and we are a dying breed. Sad to say, but I don't think the kids will much appreciate inheriting whatever is in my collection when I go the way of the dodo...unless they can trade it for the latest i-whatever.
And at my gatherings, the people who play pinball are typically well under 40 - like me.
The fact that young people aren't playing your games is a non sequitur argument against the longevity of pinball.
