    License holders.
    Support issues.
    Safety issues.

    Never gonna happen from a large pinball company. Just bad business.

    You open source complainers just need to make your own games.

    Quoted from wayout440:

    Yes, and Pinside is a niche of a niche...and folks who really care about accessing source code is an even smaller niche of a niche. Most people that buy games probably don't even care or know enough to even get into the adjustments menus on their machines. I only change defaults to free play and 5 ball play. That's about it.

    Quoted from wayout440:

    ... and 5 ball play.

    I was with you, right up to that point.

    /5 balls is cheating

    Quoted from wayout440:

    5 ball play is what we grew up with, young fella...but I digress.

    On an EM where you often don't even get to flip, sure.
