Summary
Zen acquisition optimistic; AtGames cabinet redesign shows progress but design flaws remain.
Chris Friebus and Jared Morgan discuss two major pinball industry developments: Zen Studios' acquisition by Embracer Group (via Saber Interactive), which they analyze as strategically positive for Zen's growth and pinball licensing capabilities, and AtGames' redesigned Legends Pinball Cabinet, which shows mixed improvements (better lock bar, simpler apron, integrated coin door) alongside questionable choices (plastic plunger, awkwardly-placed ports, watermarked glass).
big news this episode is that Zen Studios was acquired by Embracer Group. We go into detail about the situation and give our take on what this means for the studio.The other news is that AtGames has done some redesigns to their cabinet that make the product more attractive and better overall.
