Imagine playing at home with your game that is connected to stern’s internet. You have an amazing game, and at the end of your game, instead of just a match sequence, you now also get a special message. It says congratulations, because you have done so well on this game you’ve been invited to play in the pinball tournament in your local area.
Ok I’m just dreaming... there’s lots of problems with connected games. I doubt it has anything to do with game play or high scores. My assumption is this would be used by operators to diagnose problems remotely
