DPP #253 "The Return of the Stern!"

Don argues that Stern Pinball dominance of the pinball market has eroded as competing manufacturers (Spooky, Jersey Jack, Barrels of Fun, American Pinball) release stronger games like Winchester Mystery House, Harry Potter, and Beetlejuice. He criticizes recent Stern releases (Walking Dead Remastered, Pokemon, Star Wars) as disappointing and urges Stern to reclaim market leadership with a rumored high-quality Fallout pinball. The episode also covers operator economics, pricing inflation analysis, and production updates from other manufacturers.
