Episode 1204: "Maybe Kaneda's Pinball Podcast Just Isn't For You"
Spooky drama, a unique request and the 25 minutes you will never forget!
Kineticist’s take
Teolis mediates Spooky Pinball feedback drama, advocates for better pre-production testing and transparency.
Synopsis
Host Jeff Teolis criticizes both Spooky Pinball and the pinball community for their handling of feedback and quality issues, arguing that manufacturers should solicit more operator testing during development and customers should contact companies directly rather than airing grievances on Pinside. He discusses long wait times for Turner/Yukon Yeti impacting secondary market value, early production issues with Pokemon machines, and advocates for transparency in production progress for boutique manufacturers. Teolis also makes a public appeal to Spooky Pinball to expedite delivery of a Beetlejuice for a military servicemember's birthday.
