It has been a lot of time since I checked things about pinball online. To be honest, I was quite sure pinball was going to die. I thought Stern was not going to make it.
I am glad I was so wrong. There are new companies developing new and exciting pinballs. The remakes are happening, which I think is helping to have old great games back at locations. Sales of GB are strong; at least I see it in many places. Maybe it is, in some way, the TAF of these days. Many quality podcasts are also available.
The only thing I think it does not seem well is LE editions. The planned and (artificial) creation of limited editions seems like too much milking. I understand LE puts extra dollars in the pinball industry. However, it is hard to believe the LE tag when there are thousands of the sister model.
