Synopsis
The Pinball Show 2024 year-in-review episode covers Stern Pinball vault program (retiring seven titles for two years minimum), upcoming cornerstone game speculation (likely Dungeons & Dragons), dealer-focused production updates, and CEO Seth Davis's interview on the Loser Kid Podcast. Hosts Zach Minney and Dennis Creasel discuss the vault strategy's impact on inventory management, license renewals, and dealer dynamics, while analyzing whether pinball can expand beyond its nostalgic, aging collector base.
