If you're asking in competition, it's becasue you have to make rules to limit playtime. If you have a way to bring the ball back in play you could play all day. If I was playing on my TZ I could bang-pass from the right out to the left, and then bang back pretty easily back in the day, that would just be recockulus in a tournament.

Obviously other things mentioned already like damage, DQs, tilt-thrus, moving the machine too far etc etc.

If you mean in you own home, I don't care. Obviously there's a big group of people on pinside think tilting is cheating so i wouldn't listen to them too much.

Because for the first 70 years off pinball they were commercial machines made for locations. You probably wouldn't violently shake your own vending machine to get the fucking Funyuns out either, but I would.

Turtle Power!!

They could and have; Bif Bars, pointy plungers etc. They just don;t care, and there's no real reason they should.
There is a tilt mech....that should take care of most of it.

Really...never noticed.

We haven't "come to" this point, it's already been there for decades & decades.

You say that becasue you own 80s SS machines...Not our fault DMD+ era basically eliminated after ball bonus'!

And I love mine...and they don't get a lot of shaking!

It' like hockey, you can bash a dudes face in straight up, but if you don't drop your stick immediately you're boned.

Lord Jesus....NOW this is getting serious!

God no.
