Dress them up, pimp them out, do whatever you can to make them a neon glowing nightmare with xmas tree ornaments hanging from them...seems the natives love it.

Quoted from pinsanity:Eradicate the closed shop hierarchical based clique that has become entrenched in the Australian pinball scene...
Much like a game a good game of Risk, Australia is a little over valued for the end game 
Quoted from Honch:Why do people care so much about including everyone In their niche hobby anyway?
Seriously. Look, I know there's a lot of back and forth and people taking sides on shit but the reality is they are charging the shit out of us for games, and tons of us are buying them. They're doing more than well enough to survive for a long time.
Quoted from Honch:Are you implying that building the hobby will reduce prices?
HAHA! No I'm currently at work not drunk.
My point is there are 2 sides, one that thinks the companies are getting rich, and the other that think they're barely buying lunch and doing everything for the love of pinball. I'm sure the truth is in the middle and they're doing just fine and we don't need to "grow" anything to sustain where it is for some time.
EDIT: Just a guess of course. like everyone else.
Quoted from RCA1:Why not both?
Cause I don't work at an arcade anymore 
Quoted from o-din:....to now, a bunch of anal retentive nerds with OCD.
You forgot Lawyers.
Quoted from jawjaw:Even in the 90s I don't remember pinball being huge.
It is interesting. Sure you had the hardcore fans and some walk ups, but purely against vids they would lose. Of course they costed a bit more for standard cabinets, but you can fit at least 2 vids for every pin.
Quoted from jfre81:Magic: The Gathering people though. Especially the Standard tournament crowd and the 40-somethings who bought a bunch of packs in 1994 and obsess over the "reserved list."
Just sold my 94 cards for a chunk and bought a pin 
Quoted from jawjaw:Throw in how much space pins take up and the maintenance it just doesn't make sense to have pins unless you are passionate about them.
Yeah for the same amount of monies you can buy a bunch of cheap toys and a claw game...people eat that kind of crap up.
