Low play drive is often a natural effect of aging.

Quoted from Vdrums:

It's funny, I was thinking of posting a topic like this myself. I never owned a machine before this summer. I got heavily into pinball while visiting Florida and going to silverball museum several times and being introduced to JJP.
I really wanted a Dialed In but decided to wait to see what JJPotc would be like, and got a TAF in the meantime. (My only machine) I was very enthusiastic at first, playing and learning how to do a flipper rebuild.
But now I find I don't play much at all. When I do it's super fun and it's great when guests come over. Pinstadium did help keep my interest a bit longer and sometimes I just turn it on for the lighting effect.
My plan was always to sell the TAF and get a JJP game, but now I'm wondering if the same thing will happen, and I'll just have $10,000 tied up in a box of lights sitting in my living room that I hardly play. Opinions?

Honestly it seems like you are more into shiny lights and collecting stuff than Pinball. If you are already burned out, I’m sure the same thing will happen with your pirates game.

That being said, who cares? Pirates will look cool in your apartment and will dazzle guests for like 10 minutes. No need to give up on the hobby now.

Pinball doesn’t need to be a lifestyle. It can just be a hobby, a diversion.
