Kineticist’s take
WAP ranks top 3 games per manufacturer; emphasizes shot layout over theme; discusses pricing/secondary market concerns.
Synopsis
WAP hosts discuss their top 3 pinball games across manufacturers (Stern, JJP, Spooky, Valley, Data East, American Pinball). Speakers prioritize shot layout and code quality, debate theme licensing vs. gameplay, and express concern about escalating Pro/Premium/LE pricing. Key tensions emerge over game value retention (John Wick, Toy Story 4 secondary market decline) and licensing impact on games like Pirates of the Caribbean.
