Quoted from ryanwanger:30 year old games have problems that my modern machines don't: transistors going bad, connectors going bad, wires coming loose.
Those are fairly simple things to repair, though. And simply some of the things that happen with a game as it ages. Modern stern games will probably have some of the same problems when they reach the same age, in addition to a whole slew of stern/spike-specific problems.
Quoted from MrBally:Also done to avoid individual machine license fees.
In some counties, after a certain number of games, it basically turns into flat fee rather than per game fee.
