[QUOTE="tripletopper, post: 276170, member: 7415"] If Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Apple, and Goole are open to this, maybe there is a way Williams and Bally can make more money. I notice that Twitch gets paid 7 cents an ad for various third party advertisers. 5 goes to the streaming talent, and 2 goes to Twitch. Maybe Bally can show a commercial when you start a game, or every drain, (depending on how many different advertisers they get, how much they get paid per ad, and much backlash there'd be) and you get he table for free. It's like inserting a virtual quarter into the machine every time you play a pinball game. Instead of paying with 25 cents, you pay with 30 seconds of your time. This resolves the issue with licensing, so that if a table is not a uniquely Williams and Bally owned, but is licensed from a different IP holder, the tables and ads are segregated, so you know which portion of the money goes towards Terminator 2, especially if they think it will be more popular than other pinball tables. Maybe it should be a ridiculously high price for a table like $5 a table to won outright. But you watch ads to earn plays. You earn credits on pinball tables for a so many cent discount on a license. Maybe there can be a minimum license price of 50 cents a table, if you pay with earned credits, but ad time will pay Farsight, Williams, Bally, and the system makers their respective shares of $10 of ad time per person on that table. Games are a way better place to put ads than TV. With TV you can time shift. Companies had to come up with new ways to prevent time shifting like Fear the Talking Dead, a talk show about Fear the Walking Dead, on immediately following, or WWE texting polls, which occur live as it happens, so poor schlubs who time shift don't get the benefit of choosing an opponent or something like that. But games must be played live to make sense. Literally the only types of games that can be time shifted are Chess and Checkers, games with no random mechanism and is turned based. Chess by mail was probably the world's first networked game. So maybe if you're doing a competitive pinball game online is a race to 2x replay value, and instead of subtracting points for a drain, you get penalized 30 seconds of you dong nothing while your opponents catch up. What a better place to put a commercial than in those 30 seconds you're penalized! If you ignore the commercial, get up and use the bathroom, you'll miss the startup cue and voluntarily penalize yourself more. [/QUOTE]
