Probably the same.
I work 55 hours a week, gonna use what I have left (after paying everything I need, phone, rent, food, etc) on machines.
If I can make £50 a day on them, I'm happy, it's an extra £200 a week being I rarely have time to play them...
Has the golden goose laid it's final egg?

I don't think its a lack of competence, I think Barcrest has employees who simply aren't happy with their wages and are trying to top them up by putting deliberate faults into machines and passing them off as human error. Either that or the testing department aren't doing their job properly. Or both. I still see myself making good money from what i'm playing in 6 months, because rips and methods have longevity, straight emptiers just get abused.
As for retiring etc i'm still too frivolous with my earnings to have saved much, but my monthly outgoings are very low because i'm neither married nor have kids. Fuck all that, I enjoy my freedom too much.
Live fast, die young.

Most all-outers are down to human error.
It's the jackpot short-cuts that get put in deliberately. Do 100 locations in a week all around the country for 50 quid a time for a nice 5000. Each unit plays a bit shit for the next person but it soon recovers and no-one is any the wiser.
Carry on for 6 months, by which time the original game has been reglassed once or twice opening up more locations and you can't tell me that someone won't be clearing 100k. They could be spending 100 a day on expenses if they wanted - decent hotels, proper sit-down restaurant meals, super unleaded petrol - they would clear 100k no problem.
Then one day a chef with a gambling problem watches them play the machine at some Harvester at the side of some A-road. Something's not quite right...why is he changing stake every game? Why is he doing this or that? How did he get that jackpot? Or even worse a couple of players are sat in Costa Coffee in a services sharking some other machine and they see what's going on. A few phone-calls later and it's Goodnight Vienna. But when you're 100k in front you're less careful about being spotted and you don't really care, because Barcrest's next game has just achieved full brewery approval and Gamestec are rolling out 200 units across their estate in the next couple of weeks. So it's a fortnight away somewhere hot while everyone rushes round popping nudge shuffle buttons and getting barred from pubs for power-cycling Star Wars at 9pm, and then onto something fresh when you get back.
Cue another load of 4-day stints away sleeping in Premier Inn with the 20-quid meal deal included, and dumping 50 coins through Asda's self-checkout when you get back home. There's some big money being made out there, that's for sure.
