The fan know to go to pinside, etc to get the pinball news. But without really knowing, BN SoR didnt got any publicity. Pinball just doesnt have publicity at all. Perhaps targeting gaming news site, facebook adds, etc, could do some good for visibility.I know Gary Stern seem not appeal by digital, but a crazy idea i was thinking, like having a new pinball develop exclusively on a digital plaform, it could be like Stern own program, available on PC, console, tablet, etc. Or even look at Stadia and see where it goes if you dont really want to sell it and have it stream. Attract fans to this pinball app. Exclusive, ´Invasion From Mars’ develop by George Gomez. Application is free, but its a pay to play application ( or perhaps a monthly sub since im not sure console would dig a pay to play platform ) . After some sort of exclusivity period, real pinball is released, and the application tells you where you can get to play it. Going to play it can give you some reward by connecting the app to the pinball. Get a replay score as example, get a day of play digitally, reach X score, get you to play for a longer time, etc.But its a bit of a dream im thinking, do Stern want to invest in any way to get more publicity? I think there is some sort of revival of pinball, and it need to get people in. Place near my area, well, they dont do their publicity, you need to search for pinball montreal, its how i found it. Perhaps Stern should target some publicity stuff in the sell of a machine, so it get known.Perhaps yeah im my area in Montreal, it might be less popular, as example, there is 2 places im thinking about going, 2-3 hour of drive to Ottawa, called Ottawa Pinball Arcade and there is House of Targ. They got tons of machine there, and scouting the area also seem to indicate that there is way more place there than in Montreal. Scouting the region of Quebec, out of freakin nowhere, there is an area in Moncton where there is 4 places that got 5+ machines there. But it wasent always that way in Montreal, but did the market simply shift for digital entertainment? I dont know. But my inside feeling tells me if its done right, it could grow back.</blockquote>
