Quoted from TheLaw:

I'm constantly exposing everything I have to kids anytime I can get them in my basement.

Quoted from o-din:

Kid's aren't going to give a crap about pinball if they keep on doing grandaddy themes that's for sure. That is where pinball has lost it's relevance to ever interesting a new generation. Sure they might play their grandpas machines, but there is no way they are going to take it seriously.

Quoted from o-din:

So they are making themes that appeal to fat balding middle aged gen x rs and 4 year olds. Whoopee!

Quoted from o-din:

I'm not a boomer or a gen xr. I was born in between. Too young to hang with the old folks and too wise to live like gen xrs do.

Quoted from o-din:

Why? I watched the show 50 years ago. And have seen it hundreds of times since. Sure it's the best idea they have come up with lately, but if that's what it takes to keep pinball afloat you can count me out.

Quoted from dmbjunky:

I think it's important to support location pinball as well. Not everyone has the means or space to own a machine but most everyone can drop some coins into a machine and play for a few minutes. Every time I see a location machine I try to play it no matter what shape it's in.

Quoted from radium:

All well and good, but that won't put pinball in the mainstream. If there is not an economic driver that puts pinball back on the streets en masse, pinball won't ever be mainstream again as it was at its peak.

Quoted from o-din:

Honestly, I spent a lot of time living with the surf crowd. Dwelling in the past is not one of their past times. It's all about the next swell, or the next cool thing in pop culture. Get on it before it's no longer relevant. I love pinball and I have old games now. But have decided I would rather collect antiques than be one.

Quoted from Bearcat:

I think that pinball is on the precipice of a new era... morphing from game to full immersive experience. Hobbit, WOZ and TBL are only scratching the surface of what is possible. Then again, I could be talking out of my ass.

Quoted from Whysnow:

.???
He is a pinhead with money... He is exactly sterns demographic. They just need to work harder to get the money from some.

Quoted from rotordave:

That already happened years ago. An investment company already owns a large percentage of the company.
I don't know what the split is.
But whatever it is, I guarantee there is arrangements in place for what happens when Gary decides to exit the business.

Quoted from Whysnow:

data shows otherwise.
We have payrange on numerous pins and it has yet to even pay off the cost of the devices let alone the percentage they take off the top to "manage" the account.

Quoted from cosmokramer:

Not true...

Quoted from o-din:

Sure are a lot of people still pumping money in vending and food machines. Wouldn't be surprised if quite a few of them are pinballers too.
