Pinball is coincedentally attractive to people with lower than average social skills. That is probably both a curse and a blessing. Many of those same guys become so obsessive about it that they are the backbone of the continued existence of pinball. Clay may be a prime example of a guy who has substantial social issues but has also made very high level contributions to the entire hobby.

And there is a large attraction to high functioning autistic men. Complex rulesets, flashing lights, random sounds, narrow objectives. Probably substantial overlap in all of the aforementioned factors which leads to a volatile collector community.
