Stern and Farsight Studios are partnering to release digital versions of new Stern games simultaneously with physical releases
high confidence · Jack Danger discusses 'Stern and Farsight Studios getting together' and confirms 'as a new Stern comes out it will also come out digitally as well'
Twitch banned American Pinball machines from the TwitchCon convention center floor
high confidence · Jack mentions 'Twitch said we can't have American Pinball machine there' and 'Twitch said you can't have American Pinball machine there how lame'
Licensing complications prevent easy porting of older licensed IP pinball games to digital platforms
high confidence · Jack explains that Jersey Jack's Wizard of Oz license expired and Farsight would need to 'pay to Jersey Jack to just use the game but then also pay to Reet the license for Wizard of Oz because the license is run out'
Games with original themes (non-licensed IP) like Heighway's Full Throttle are easier to port digitally
high confidence · Jack states 'Full Throttle from Heighway I they could do that all freaking day long' and original titles 'don't have to Reby a license'
There is a major announcement coming at Expo next week
medium confidence · Jack states 'we have a huge announcement also next week at this time both Monday and Tuesday all the hype in the world tune in it's going to be big' and 'if you want to see the coolest crap in the world tune in Monday and Tuesday of next week'
Jack will be attending TwitchCon in San Francisco and streaming from bars instead of the convention center
high confidence · Jack says 'I'm going to San Francisco for TwitchCon' and 'there are bars around the area that we can go to so I think we're going to be just fine'
Playing games before competing in tournaments on that machine provides a strategic advantage when digital versions exist
medium confidence · Jack explains 'if they come out with Game of Thrones on the phone and then Game of Thrones pinball at the same time and then John Youssi it in a tournament guess what you get to do play it before you step up to the freaking game'
