Episode 259 - It's Showtime!

Eclectic Gamers discusses Spooky Pinball's Beetlejuice release, which sold out immediately at $9,999 MSRP with 999 units. The hosts analyze the game's design features, the decision to limit production, and broader industry tensions around scarcity-driven FOMO marketing, aging demographics, and the high barrier to entry for home collectors. Community emails raise concerns about scalping, access for younger players, and whether ultra-limited releases are ultimately beneficial for the hobby.
