Hmm, back to RGP?
You are naive if you think Google has not already monetized your surfing habits. At least you can see it coming around here. "Don't be evil"!

Quoted from snyper2099:I could care less about viewing pinball ads...
However, I think a "storefront" or "shop" is bad for another reason, not yet brought up by others. Who is stopping someone form creating and selling bootleg art or parts they do not have the rights to sell in these Pinside shops?
This will be fuel for the fire once someone gets "ripped off" by a "Pinside shop" selling questionable items. I realize all this is happening already on the interwebs but why bring these shady dealings to Pinside?
Seems like a bad idea that will make more work for those that maintain such things and leave a sour taste in people mouths.
Only a matter of time before someone gets ripped off with bootleg junk or some else's mod to which they don't own the rights and it's all Robin's fault because he's not policing the shops.
I'm sure there is some fine print stating the site owners are not responsible for such things but customers don't know or care. They will just blame whoever will listen, and it's not going to be the bootleggers!
I'm guessing a bad vendor selling bootleg or poor quality product through Pinside will be called out and crucified rather quickly.
