All this fear mongering and doom sayers over something has zero impact on anyone that isn’t interested. If you don’t want this don’t connect your pin to the net or sign up. It’s really not that difficult to do nothing and enjoy your pins as you always have.
It would make sense for Stern just include future modes in the cost of an LE. The wouldn’t lose anything financially and it would keep the whole LE illusion going.
What is going on in this thread?! How hard are you guys hitting the devils lettuce to be this paranoid about a pin being online.
Quoted from flynnibus:And perpetuate this false ideal that the "LE is all inclusive"? Why? They don't do this today and pinside still loses their %#$ when Stern has accessories the LE doesn't include.. because again of this self-created false concept of what the LE is.
The audience for the LE are your whales... why give away the cow?
I wasn't very clear but I meant to further increase the cost of the LE up front so the whales just pay in advance. I did not intend to suggest including it for free. The whales can basically front the money to develop the new modes. I do think stating the LE comes with "free" upgrades for life would add to its demand. You are correct though they don't really need anything more the LE hype train is bombing down the tracks already.
