I like the thinking on this one, if not a bit off-putting and it is one of my bigger complaints with pinball. I'm not going SJW, wanting diversity for diversity's sake, its not even using the idea of white privilege. My beef is the rock pins (regardless of how good the layout is). It is obvious the laser-like focus of the demographic some manufacters are going for. It is repetitive and stagnant. Where is the originality with themes? I can name one Metallica song. (Thanks to vh1's pop up video). I can't name an Iron Maden song to save my life. AC/DC fun enough but that was to make up for the Rolling Stones abortion. It just seems that, to use a radio term "tight is right" is making the market boring and bland. There was a thread asking for megadeath, whats next Merle Haggard? If these themes are what is needed for manufactures to stay in business then so be it. If folks like the themes and their games, more power to you (again it is not about making anyone feel guilty). It just feels like the themes are too narrow. DI is the last game I can remember that was remotely original.
