    Quoted from Rarehero:

    I wonder how many people actually used the Dialed In app with the machine.

    I tried it a couple times. Connectivity was spotty. A fun innovation. I like the idea even if this particular implementation didn't work as reliably as I wanted it to.

    Quoted from pookycade:

    I cannot believe there is no physical pin one can play over the Internet. What I mean by that is a pin you are watching on the equivalent of Twitch but actually playing yourself. Better yet, a pin that streams video to your VR headset so you are there real-time playing with a camera that physically adjusts to changes in your gaze. It is the ultimate connection between online and physical pinball. THAT would be a true innovation. No more location pinball. You can play any pin, anywhere, including the South Pole, as long as you have an internet connection.

    How much would you pay to play what you describe?

    Quoted from 7oxford:

    The 5x spinning ball start to magneto multiball is cool. Maybe wrong but I can’t recall this been done earlier.

    Quoted from Rarehero:

    Borg literally stole it from an earlier game of his - Twister.

    And used it again on Lost in Space.

    Quoted from gdonovan:

    perhaps the money spent on licensing for properties would be better used

    Licensing fees per game have been in the fifty dollar range over the years according to interviews with various people involved in the industry.

    Quoted from swampfire:

    The innovation we really need is local score relay via bluetooth. When your turn comes, you play your game. When you're done, you walk away. The bluetooth module sends your score to the local server.

    Scorbit does better than that. https://scorbit.io/scorbitron
