Certainly Dexter is for adults, but not to beat a dead horse, the idea
is to draw in more people to pinball, not immediately alienate or
exclude a portion of the community.
It's one thing not to like a theme (for example, many people do not
like superhero games ), but to know going in the game is not suitable
for younger players is not a good idea IMO. I thought Sopranos was a
bad idea for a game-I asked a local arcade to set the game to non-
adult mode when they had it on adult. Too many young kids were
exposed to the F-mode; this is totally unnecessary. Yes, I hear the
argument they will hear it eventually, or at school whatever, but
still, it does not add to the equation of promoting pinball.
