Kineticist’s take

Synopsis
Dennis and Tony from Eclectic Gamers discuss pinball rumors and industry news, focusing on a Stern Ghostbusters Vault possibility, production schedule gaps, and Home Pin's design philosophy. They analyze the Ghostbusters flipper gap issue tied to designer John Trudeau criminal history, Home Pin's center post addition to Spinal Tap based on location testing, and Mike's explicit design strategy targeting casual buyers outside the pinball enthusiast market rather than tournament players.
