[QUOTE="Jeff Strong, post: 49468, member: 3"] I would say that's an exaggeration. Yes, they are designed to bring in a profit, but not to drain your balls as fast as possible. There's a balance. The machines also have to be fun and worthwhile, as well as beatable, otherwise pinball would've died off decades ago. Some are certainly more challenging than others, but pinball machines in general have gotten easier over time in terms of game length when you look at the addition of features such as ball savers and kick backs. But if you haven't played real pinball in awhile and are very accustomed to TPA or especially Zen, then yes, real pinball is going to seem harder because it is...but that has more to do with the fact that virtual pinball is just easier, and less to do with the design of the pinball machines.
