Unfortunately, things turned sour in TheEighties, when the Coca-Cola Company purchased Gottlieb's parent company, Columbia Pictures, and transferred their pinball assets to the Mylstar Electronics subsidiary. The familial atmosphere and emphasis on fun was gone, replaced with a cold and calculating focus on profitability; Ed frequently butted heads with management, and even noted that "Mylstar" sounded like "rat slime" spelled backwards.
In 1983, after redesigning ''Pinball/ElDoradoCityOfGold'', Ed Krynski left Gottlieb on acrimonious terms. For the longest time, Ed faded from public view as he ignored all interview requests, expo invitations, or anything else related with pinball or the people associated with them. It was not until 2000 that he relented after his wife Gilda convinced him to be interviewed by Michael Shalhoub for his series of ''Pinball Compendium'' books. Bonding with Shalhoub with numerous get-togethers over pepperoni pizza, Ed finally returned to the spotlight, culminating in 2003 when he was inducted into the Pinball Hall of Fame before his family, friends, and several hundred admiring fans.
Edward Krynski died on November 15, 2004 due to complications from cancer at 77 years old.
