Something completely physical like a pinball machine is the antithesis to NFT's.
Only thing they have in common is that buyers propably have too much money to spare, wich is why someone thought this is a genius move.
I hate everything about it, this is a complete sellout. Pinball suddenly feels dead to me and I'm not joking.
Quoted from m00nmuppet:Cryto and NFT's are not "adding nothing" to the world. They are the evolution of digital assets and finance. It's a generational thing. My dad was very suspicious of debit cards, paying online, etc. He wouldn't participate. Only paper money and bank checks. And his dad probably didn't like paper money no longer being directly backed by gold. And the world of crypto will consume much less energy than the world of physical banking structures.
You are completely wrong top to bottom.
It is not a way of paying your "dollar", it's a purely speculative worth that can crash down to zero in an instant.
It is an addition and it consumes more energy then a lot of smaller countries and is allready a big environtental problem.
Quoted from yancy:Take it to the ponzi scheme thread.
Deeproot thread still open?
Quoted from Palmer:Hyperbole much? It's a limited run to a niche audience. Basically what Stern does roughly once a year with their home pin layout.
Of course you are correct, this is what Stern does.
But again, when I say NFT's are the antitheis to pinball. What I mean by that:
One thing is purely digital, basically only a link. It has a picture connected to it (that can be copied) and it's worth is purely speculative and there is basically nothing you can do with it other then speculate.
The other thing is a mainly physical machine. You get a fully functional thing in itself wich, while also having a speculative worth, will at least allways have the worth of the sum of it's parts, you can still play it and it can't be copied.
These two "markets" shouldn't collide... it's not right! XD
Quoted from mbeardsley:I've already turned all my machines into NFTs.
Now that I've done that, I have full ownership rights to my machines, and no one else can own them unless they buy them directly from me.
No need to own them, just have them. I‘ll just right click and „save as“. 
Quoted from trecemaneras:This joke gets posted every time someone wants to ridicule a theme, but if we're talking Lauren Faust's Friendship is Magic era of MLP, that show is stellar! I watched a bunch of it with my kids when they were little and it's better than any cartoon I grew up on.
In the Pinside top 100, I count 62 licensed themes, and IMO only 15 or so come from source material that's as good or better than the theme that we use as our mane go-to joke.
So, yes, I 100% unironically agree, My Little Pony would be better
I‘d be in. (Cornerstone+)
Quoted from TechnicalSteam:Of course for most of the Pinball community - Pinball is Mad Money and who gives a F
If pinball prices would crash down back to zero I'd still have my games to enjoy.
