    Connect it yourself if you want it connected. https://scorbit.io/scorbitron

    Quoted from alveolus:

    What if the player could input the issue to alert the op: “broken rubber”, “right flipper is weak”, etc

    This is already possible with pinballmap.com (and their app) IF the operator wants the comments emailed daily.

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    false reports constantly being sent by kids, smartasses, competing operators, people who do it accidentally etc...

    As someone who sees every comment left on the Austin pinball map I can tell you this almost never happens. YMMV

    It's only a waste if you reinvent the wheel. Scorbit already offers many of the features discussed. Multimorphic has games linked via Wi-Fi with internet play in the works.

    Can't wait to see what people come up with!

    Quoted from 27dnast:

    basically no one cares about it outside of some random interactions.

    And interest is growing. Why? It's not because EMs are being produced and sold by the thousands to home buyers. It's many factors.
    We don't know what implementations will be produced. Maybe Scorbit will really take off like Color DMD has. Maybe some new methodology no one knows about yet.

    It doesn't take even a majority of users to make a successful product. Billions of people don't watch Family Guy. Still a successful show.

    I don't use Amazon Alexa or Dots. Some people love them. The connectivity gives those people something. Some people WANT to turn on their lights with their smartphone.

    Stern pinball connectivity is coming eventually. Time will tell what people use it for.

    Quoted from TreyBo69:

    think the best option would be if Stern could include an optional daughter board attachment that would contain the hardware and software to get a game online. That way it's there for the people who want it, a

    Scorbit already does that. https://scorbit.io/scorbitron
