Quoted from CrazyLevi:Not sure I agree with you. At all.
Visit the Stones forums and ask any of the Stones superfans is who bought th game what they think of the code. Once you explain to them what code is they’ll tell you they love it.
A Beatles pin doesn’t need to blow away pinside to sell. There’s a lot more Beatles fans who will buy a pin than Stones fans.
I think I agree: probably Stern knows/thinks a Beatles pinball will sell with or without what pinball players consider good code. Good news is that 'pinheads' get the coders they like on the other games, so only the Beatles&pinball-fans are really effected. If i.e. Lyman did Beatles, he wouldn't have that time for another game.
