Summary

General gaming podcast with tangential pinball news on American Pinball remakes and delayed Stern reveal.

Eclectic Gamers Podcast episode is not about pinball industry news: it is a general gaming podcast covering video games (40K Rogue Trader, Battlefield 6) with a brief pinball segment. The pinball discussion covers American Pinball new partnership with Pinball Planet to produce seven classic Williams/Bally remakes, the absence of Stern's winter cornerstone reveal (unusual for the industry), a February 11 NDA-gated media showing for Stern's next game, and listener emails about game design philosophy.

From the creator

Pinball: We discuss more about American Pinball, what little we know about Stern's next cornerstone plans, and answer some listener emails. Video Games: We talk a bunch about Ubisoft but also hit on Highguard and Dispatch. None!
