Quoted from Cheeks:Everything we've heard from other pinball companies regarding license-holder involvement is that they want their fingers in practically all aspects - which isn't surprising. Your "one playfield for multiple bands" premise assumes that you could create the playfield with no involvement from the bands, and then they're all willing to just let you slap their assets on something they didn't help design.
We haven't seen music pins involving smallish market bands. It's an untapped market so far because development cost mostly can't be amortized across multiple tables. With the P3 it can be.
Technology has changed the way music is made and marketed. Bands can make records in home studios now and tour profitably using clubs and a solid social media strategy.
How re-usable could one make the video assets for a P3 game? Could you go so far as base characters with changeable faces, clothing, and instruments? What other custom assets to make a game appealing to a fan base? Could you flip the script and make the base module easy enough you could license it to the band and let them put their own assets on it?
