I have a sneaking suspicion that's the point. One time I stayed in an AirBnB in San Diego and this dude had a garage FULL of pinball machines. He said he'd been to Houston and Katy for pinball events, I assume he's the type of guy who frequents this type of thing, not normal people/kids.
I went to Cidercade and actually the pinball was super fun, didn't grow up playing. Will try to get one for my kids one day as it's good old-fashioned, solid tactile fun.
