Quoted from CrazyLevi:- obviously most people
Will choose one show over the other. Myself, and all the other tournament players (the people nobody cares about doing the thing nobody cares about) will go to the one with the tournament.
So...I wonder which one Tilt Amusements plans on picking for this....whichever one it is will have an automatic 120 or so person advantage over the other, instantly.
This is a smart take. I might not go to shows to play a lot, but for more serious players that's a legit draw.
Quoted from goatdan:While whatever is breaking down here is breaking down or has broken down, let's be real - Expo WORKED for 30+ years. Maybe that's what is bothering me about how this seems to be going down, the history of Expo is amazing and should be celebrated, not made to seem like it was a second rate show.
This Expo Sucks™ narrative being so pervasive is relatively new. It's been a great show up until really recently, and then it turned into just a good one. It's just that people expect it to be great. And fair enough, it should be.
I realize California isn't the heart of pinball like the Midwest, but I'd encourage people to come out and see the Banning Arcade Expo. It overlaps with TPF this year, you might already be going to that, but maybe next year come on out. It's an amazing collection, and a good show, and they just keep working to grow it.
There are some amazing private collections in SoCal if you make it into a proper visit.
