    In the panel rooms you need to have streaming capabilities for Twitch. Not having panels streamed at a major expo in 2016 is unacceptable. The only way the rest of the world was able to watch history as Pat Lawlor, a man who many people including myself hold on some high shelf of respect, was able to announce his new game with a new platform was a grainy Periscope video. In 5min of that Periscope video which I am presuming was Jack doing the stream, it garnered well over 1,500 people.

    Aside from Jersey Jack Pinball, Jack Danger streamed Ghostbusters which was neat but we wanted Batman 66 but that wasn't up to him. I also happened to see Stern did a live cast of their factory tour on Facebook which we have all seen many times. Steve Bowden another major kudo's to him, Periscoped a "Dialed In!" panel.

    What we need is to have a stream for panels and we need to have support for streamers like Jack Danger, etc playing these new games. The world and market wants to see these new games rather than read firsthand account on Pinside or some cellphone video. It used to be you were told about the new games from friends who went there or you went yourself and you would eventually see this stuff in the Pinball Journal. It's 2016 people and the Pinball community needs to adapt to technology.
