WARNING...COMMON SENSE RANT FREE SHOW: Episode 1183: "KANEDA SOLVES PINBALL SCALPING ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!!"

Kaneda critiques Pinside's scalping fees as virtue signaling; argues manufacturers should sell direct to end scalping.

Kaneda launches a multi-part critique of Pinside's anti-scalping measures and broader pinball business model inefficiencies. He argues Robin's fee-based scalping restrictions are performative virtue-signaling that won't solve the underlying problem: that manufacturers should sell direct to consumers instead of relying on dealers/distros, which would eliminate scalping overnight while manufacturers keep an extra $1-2M+ per title. He positions Pokemon Pinball as an upcoming test case and frames scalping as a market signal of game quality.
