    Quoted from swinks:

    Dec 2019 was still a playfield in design and build progress... which is a kick in the guts to Space Balls and Rotodave's Led Zep

    Honestly ... I could give two shits about these popularity contests, but I’ve been asked many times about this so here’s my bit.

    My Led Zeppelin wasn’t even considered for last years “home brew”

    I get that mine was more of a retheme, although I added new playfield features etc, it was mostly still a Freedom machine.

    As such, maybe a “retheme” category would be appropriate.

    There is a lot more work goes into programming a machine from scratch, creating rules etc etc, which is what I’d consider a “home brew” as per the current award.

    However - the fact that last year a machine that was nowhere close to being finished won this category was a real slap to the guys who had spent 100s of hours making *completed” machines. And just showed that the awards are just a popularity contest.

    That’s my 10c.
