Grimm Tales and RetroPlay Aftermath
BlahCade Podcast
1 hr 20 min
Summary
BPAC event recap, operator economics crisis, and VPX licensing debate.
Chris Friebus and Jared Morgan discuss their experiences at Brisbane Pinball Arcade Collective's BPAC 2022 event (70+ machines over 8 days), operator profitability challenges, and community backlash from their recent episode featuring RetroPlay cabinet builder David. They also analyze VPX/digital pinball licensing issues, fair use doctrine, and the competitive relationship between free VPX tables and commercial offerings like Pinball FX.
Well, people sure did have things to say about our previous episode featuring RetroPlay! We try not to kick the hornet's nest once more and probably fail. You decide. But we start the show with Jared talking about the BPAP 2022 festival in Brisbane, and we finish with a "Let's Play" of Zen's latest original table, "Grimm Tales". There's some bonus play of Williams' "The Machine: Bride of Pinbot" (BoP for short).
