Pinball Roundtable Part 3 with Retro Ralph and Cale Hernandez - Episode 65

JBS Roundtable critiques Potter marketing, discusses Ralph's featurette, and debates JJP's new Game Changer difficulty system.

Synopsis

This Pinball Roundtable discusses Jersey Jack Pinball's Harry Potter marketing strategy (criticized for poor execution and lack of outside-industry reach), Retro Ralph's behind-the-scenes featurette production, the community's small reach, and introduces Jersey Jack's new 'Game Changer' feature: a QR code-based difficulty adjustment system designed to let players of different skill levels enjoy games together. The hosts debate whether this feature has merit and whether negative misinformation in the tight-knit community can harm game sales.
