We are pinball and so are you! We have NEW INFO on the release...

Listen on We Are Pinball

Highlights

  • Stern is vaulting six titles effective end of 2024: Deadpool, Iron Maiden, Star Wars, Avengers, Elvira, and Foo Fighters, with a minimum two-year vault period.
  • Deadpool's popularity surge occurred during COVID when the game couldn't be purchased despite initial poor reception in 2018.
  • Foo Fighters was released at the apex of COVID buying before markets softened; high initial production volume resulted.
  • Avengers killed the Turtles hype when both launched within three weeks of each other.
  • Jack Danger designed Foo Fighters with a flow and layout that feels like a collaboration between Jack Danger and Keith Elwin.
  • Looney Tunes (SE) unboxing video directly led to multiple viewer purchases from Zach (CoinGiver distribution).
  • We Are Pinball Patreon was created only 2-3 weeks before this episode, with supporters including Velvet Steve ($100), Jeremy Ford ($50), Brian Coz, and Brad Kay.

Notable quotes

“If you're not enjoying this, then what are you doing? We're just, man, let's just enjoy it and have some fun.”
Retro Ralph
“You have to be honest. You cannot just say happy, happy, go, go, because if I don't like a pinball machine on the box, I'm honest. I tell it as it is.”
Cengiz
“I'm stacking levels like pancakes over here, man. We'll go as high as you want.”
Cengiz (on Patreon tier escalation)
“When I think about it, when I dissect Keith Elwin shots on layout, including Joe's, I really feel like Avengers is his best shooting game.”
Cengiz
“It's one of them Gomez games, if you're into that. It plays a lot like Bond, I think, where there's, like, one really good shot that I like.”
Deadpool (LE)
“Star Wars still makes money like crazy [on location].”
Don
“If you're trying to make money, pro is the way to go. But if you're just buying the game, it's going to be a financial sinkhole, and you just want to have the full features, that's why I go premium.”
Don
