Quoted from DefDumBlindKid:Sometimes I go back and read what the prevailing pinball wisdom was, say, 6 years agao. Wow, a lot has changed.
Would you say pinball’s future is more, less or equally optimistic today as these opinions were from 6 years ago?
I didn’t read the entire original thread but it didn’t seem all that optimistic. Sounded like people felt collectors and hardcore old timers would be the last pinball fans.
I’ve gotten my ass beat by kids who were barely walking when this message was first posted. I think the future of pinball is alive and well. Parents are passing it on to their sons and daughters and they are running with it!
The hobby may never reach the cultural peaks it once has but I don’t see it dieing with baby-boomers and gen x either.
