Quoted from Aurich:In a different but related vein they're doing the video stuff to show you how to plunge etc too. It could all be a program to try and get location play to reward casual players more?
Data East, long before Stern, had the pity multiball on ball 3, kind of the same sort of idea. Give you something for your quarter, even if you're not really any good.
First, great to see you back Aurich. Along the same lines, Stern code is also going to incorporate minimum play times for locations. Bad first balls affect length of ball save, number of ball saves allowed, etc. I don’t have a problem with it. Give folks their money’s worth on location. Let them enjoy them, learn to play, get hooked. The better games do on location I think makes it better for pinball in general.
