Quoted from RTS:
So doesn't it seem quite possible that they could make an improved Royal Edition and just call it something else?
Kinda like what the Royal Edition did to the original MMr LE models.
Is it possible? Sure - nothing is impossible. Is it likely? Probably not.
This has been discussed so much in the MMr thread. MM was a special case because their top end model wasn't up to par with the other remakes they produced. Hence the Royal, which pissed off a lot of LE owners because now essentially you have a version that's way more limited than the LE and it looks nicer and has more bling, to match the other LEs. This led to them offering the upgrade parts/kits in order to appease their loyal customer base (LE owners).
When they produced the Royal CGC posted in the Pinside thread that they would build as many as had been ordered but this was a one time deal and it would not be produced again.
Could they eventually come up with a v2.0 of all their remakes?? Sure.. why not? IMHO I think that this too is very unlikely given the current work being done on releasing a non-remake game or games, as well as possibly more remakes. If anything I think we are more likely to see some sort of paid software upgrade on the other remakes like CCr will be getting with the Lyman/Josh code expansion. CGC will probably wait to gauge interest in the expanded code for CCr and then decide if they should offer it for the other remakes.
Obviously other than that CGC post about the Royal being a 1 time deal, most of this is just my opinion.
