  • Pinball is unique among arcade games in offering free games through replay mechanics and match features
  • A five-minute waiting period before playing someone's free game is an appropriate community standard

Notable quotes

“Love pinball. Like all of it. Don't be a hater. All games are fun games. Pinball's like pizza. It's all good.”
Matt
“My ability to have fun with a game is directly related to if that game is playing well.”
Don
“I like to feel like the pinball fairy. And say, hey, by the way, you heard that sound? You got a free game.”
Matt
“Five-minute rule, right? Somebody walks away from a game, wait five minutes before you mooch it.”
Matt
“It's a loud pop. Be careful, you know? So I think it's one of those things that make it different and weird that are, to me, kind of quintessential to the pinball experience.”
Matt
