I think this is going to be transformative for the industry if done right. Also right up my Tech Experience ally
being a mobile app / web developer. Really peaks my interest if Stern is looking for any Full Stack Web / Mobile Developers
drop me a MSG. I would jump ship to work on this in a heartbeat.

I know so many people that won't go out to compete but this would drive them to do so again.

QR codes can be pretty power full means to communicate data. You can pass all sorts of data within a QR code. They can store up to 4296 AlphaNumeric values representing Objects. So you can communicate a lot o info with them. I believe there are also 3D / Holographic QRs in the works that have even
more storage. Outside of that you obviously going to need some secure account token that acts as an intermediary secure passage.

This would be cool if Matchplay or other tools could leverage some of this to document scoring on site as well. This just made my day with all the Negative crap out there some good news!!

I'm pretty excited about this development and see alot of potential to transform on location play for the better.
Some operators probably won't take the time to delve into this right away until they see it in action. I hope
that at the next major Pinball event that Stern puts together a helluva show to showcase what this can do.

One thing I haven't seen discussed is something that has been on my mind for awhile.
Changing some of the mechanics on how games are paid for. THIS seems a step in the right direction.
I imagine it would be pretty cool if users could buy 'credits' that get routed to the 'operators'. This would
help fix what I see as dependency on physical currency aspect of pinball. Who carries cash these days.
Broken ATMs, Change machines - hey everyones got a smartphone these days... Be cool if vendors had
a "Native" system that just works... Thinking Apple Pay / Samsung pay / Bitcoin without to much of a usury fee.

From a Players & Home owners perspective. I think with the initial roll out the playing at "verified" locations is
a good fix for the short term.

However, as a Home owner who does not get the opportunity to go out a lot ( Why I have 16 games at home )
I ultimately want some means of verifying my play.

Lastly:

NFTs could be cool. Or Awards for playing at multiple locations.

Oh and is there going to be a leaderboard app on location ( Is this in game or just phone ) . I'm thinking back to the
trivia bar games with the display and rankings. Do we just get a big display and connect the HDMI to our machine and
go to the site to see stats?

What's the official list of games that will be included in the first rollout? I'm hoping Jurrasic Park and Elvira 3 are on
that list. BKOR to

Well hope to be able to test these at home in next couple months if my games are supported even partially.

Back in the early days of MMOGs I had quite a collection of NFTs but then Blizzard dumbed down the game and they instantly devalued.

Really wish people would explain things more than expect us to sit thru videos all the time.

Just transcribe video job done.

Started updating the Stern Lineup today...
