It looks like lots of people read the rule wrong as originally worded. It was always fine if you read it as "GAME PIECES may only be entered onto the field through the CHUTE" -- i.e., you may not use the CHUTE to remove GAME PIECES from the field. I think they removed the word "only" because too many people thought it meant "GAME PIECES may only be entered onto the field through the CHUTE."
