I won a game on that machine at the gamecon in Leipzig, probably 15 years ago. I got a blister from the heat, went to the first aid area to get something for it and they shut it down after. Fun times
The worst thing, at least for me, was was the whip, the heat was very toned down when I played it.
An equal opportunity version of pay to win.

I played this with a friend at the Computerspielemuseum in Berlin. I felt really bad, they were so bad I kept winning, and their hand’s skin cracked bloodily and got bruised after a session. But they insisted to finish the game.

maybe they tried it and learned it can be beaten?
another commenter mentioned it, wonder why they went with real pain instead of the less messy simulation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_grill_illusion maybe they tried it and learned it can be beaten?
