Would you like take a Wager of $1,000 on that not coming true.

Barcodes & Pinball related businesses are booming in every country that pinballs have a long history in & not a day goes past there isn't a social media site listing new pins in new locations.

Stern is riding a wave of high demand & are running flat chat & also have many third parties lining up for remakes that are growing in size and number.

If Stern manages its scale of economies well, I can't see anything dramatic happening in the next ten years.
Remember also, Gary has always said the most important part to running a pinball factory is balancing stock purchases/timing & buy rates of piece rates. He seems to master this well after 50 years.

I am betting the silver fox is two steps ahead & will leave Stern in great hands no matter when he hands the reigns over. Never underestimate the passionate Stern fans to provide support right when Stern needs it most.
I could be wrong but the yanks love Stern more than us.
