Quoted from phishrace:

It wasn't me, but it could've been. The original poster declares that pinball is back big time. Is it really? Stern shipped around 5000 games last year. During the 90's, more than half a million NIB games were sold. Over 100,000 in 1992 alone. 5000 games a year is hardly big time.
Secondly, the poster suggests location pinball dying off is no big deal. Home buyers will fill the void. That's simply not true. Having a pin at home is luxury item most people in this country can't afford, let alone the rest of the world. Pinball will never fully recover without the location player. For more than 80 years, people have known pinball as something that is done socially away from the home. Now you usually do it alone in your basement. That's big time? I find it depressing.
If you want pinball to come back big time, play on location regularly. If there are no good locations in your area, either put your games out or move.

Quoted from LTG:

You have your work cut out for you then.
Most operators aren't buying pins. Most operators won't buy from a new company. Worried about parts and tech support later.
Best wishes. I hope you can do it.

Quoted from TigerLaw:

I've mentioned it before but check out what WMS, IGT, and Ballys do with their high end slot machine. They have transparent LCD (looks like glass unless they want it to display a video) . . . it is some cool stuff.
I'm sadly not in on the JPop games so I don't know what he is up to (and didn't sign any NDA) but if I had to guess he was using this technology from slot machines and implementing it into his playfield glass. Talk about something that would be revolutionary and could complete the pinball2000 vision with a full size full action real pinball machine.
I sure hope this is what JPop is doing anyway.
