    Quoted from PinballTilt:

    Alot of people in this thread without much imagination. Seems like a business opportunity for someone like deeproot to me. Kids nowadays love to compete. If you're playing against a friend you can be pretty confident they won't cheat. Imagine being able to do split flipper with someone with the same game as you. Or you both take turns and you can watch on your machine as they flip and hit things (using insert lights and solenoids already in the game). Just a lot of possibilities that would really draw in the new generation. Yes it would cost money, but if you're smart about it you can minimize costs by implementing suggestions such as mine

    How many of the new generation are actually buying pinballs? Does anyone really think that someone is going to buy a 7 grand plus pinball so they can play against their mates instead of buying a $50 game on their PS4/Xbox/Switch/PC?
    For the record I'm in my early 30s and I wouldn't even do this let alone be able to convince a friend my age or younger to buy a bloody expensive pinball just to play against me.

    Quoted from PinballTilt:

    It's about parents buying one for their kids. If your adorable little prince or princess shows an interest in pinball for the first time due to these features or their friend that has one, guess what mom and the kids are going to ask Dad to buy next.

    It honestly wont work that way. I have had so many friends over with their kids who absolutely loved playing all my pinballs and then wanted one....until I tell them how much they cost.
