New games aren’t worth it anymore. They’re too expensive, and they don’t have the cohesive gameplay design & magic of the previous generation of games. They all feel a little experimental, a little amateur, yet are charging $8k+ for full featured models. I still think I could be moved to buy a new game if something just blew me away, but I just don’t see that happening...pinballs best days are in the past, and all those games still exist, so I’ll just play those.
Quoted from Multiballmaniac1:Big recession coming. Factor that in soon.
The last one didn’t affect the hobby/classic games market at all - in fact, the prices kept going up...but it almost destroyed Stern - and that’s when they’re games were less than $4k NIB.
