Tim said on the JBS Show:  pinball is a sport, but if you’re too competitive, you eventually need a life outside of it.

Tim Sexton told me exactly how he went from learning pinball rules in college to becoming a Stern lead developer, then to walking away from competition in 2023 because it started feeling like his whole life.

Great games matter, but so does not letting one thing own you.  Sometimes the smartest move is stepping back before the grind kills the joy.  And honestly, that’s why I love these conversations - they’re not just about machines, they’re about the people building them, playing them, and trying to stay human while doing it.

Full episode is up if you want the whole story.
