I see some Stern+™ code DLC in your future. Because when I read this:

what that says to me 'games as service'. It's the defacto model for gaming across multiple industries, won't shock me to see it come to pinball. We're already seeing the inroads like the Mandalorian topper bringing new modes with it.

I'm not even sure it's a bad thing necessarily, but I don't expect it to be a popular idea with a lot of people. Who are also probably feeling priced out of buying new games, so maybe nobody cares what they think.

What kind of psycho stores their scissors open like that?

The tape thing looks crazy, but I did shadow box all my tools for my office work bench, where I do all my soldering and painting etc. Little slide out tray with laser cut spots for everything. It really does help to have a spot to consistently put things back. I'm not a naturally neat person, having a 'home' for things helps.

I was reading the Multimorphic thread just now, and I saw a discussion about something that hadn't occurred to me. If you buy "software only" games for your P3 you can't sell them, they're tied to the physical game. Which is reasonable.

But if we enter a future of DLC will it travel with the pin? Stern could tie things to your Insider account and if you don't log in the new software doesn't boot, so you couldn't sell it with the game, in theory.

Yeah, it's gonna be an uphill climb with a lot of people. Who knows, just speculating. But the pieces are all in place to make that kind of play. Get games connected to wifi, with accounts, and you can do a lot of software as service kinds of moves.
