The way I read this is as "waahh, i can't easily horde games to myself and hide them from the public. waaah!!!! whoa is me!!!! i like pinball to be elitist"
as others have noted, there's a special irony coming from someone ho hasn't been here that long. i've been playing rabidly for 9 years. i owned two machines but couldn't afford them any more. i'm not bitter that i'm priced out of the market. but i do get pissed at people who complain about prices but then lock machines away from any kind of public play. would i like to be able to buy a medieval madness for 3K? sure. but that's not gonna happen. the only consolation is when people make their machines publicly playable. having them public stifles demand because players don't have to buy, they can play.
