Kineticist’s take
JJP pricing strategy and American Pinball restructuring dominate sparse pinball discussion.
Synopsis
Eclectic Gamers Podcast hosts Dennis and Tony discuss sparse pinball news, focusing on Jersey Jersey Jack Pinball $1,000 price increase on Guns Guns N' Roses (with speculation about future Toy Story pricing strategy) and American Pinball personnel moves (hiring Jack Hager as art director and Dennis Nordman as lead designer). The hosts debate whether these changes will improve American Pinball fortunes, concluding that theme selection and game quality matter more than roster changes, while American Pinball remains on life support despite organizational restructuring.
