At first I thought it would be good for having machines on location, but after thinking about it, I don't love the idea. Remote checks on the machine would discourage an operator from checking on the machine personally. The software won't know if a screw is banging around on the playfield, if vandalism damage occurred, or if there are other issues tech alerts won't catch. I think most good operators would want to have a more personal presence. So my vote is 'nah', don't want to pay for it.
Quoted from alveolus:What if the player could input the issue to alert the op: “broken rubber”, “right flipper is weak”, etc
It might work, but it might be too complex to waste a lot of space on the machine with instructions on how to do it. People could just text the phone # usually on the machine. Plus a lot of people wouldn't care to bother with either. I also think you'd end up with a lot of bullshit complaints or if you could type in what's wrong you'd end up with things like "blow me".
