Quoted from o-din:This is pinball! Does everything that is said is going to get done get done? I think it probably will though. I would hate to be the guy signing those $8000 refund checks.
Why would there be refund checks? There has been absolutely, positively, NO guarantee that the games will ever include this feature. The last time this was debated Greg posted on the PPS forums and Rick confirmed what I'm saying. "It is being worked on" is not a guarantee you can take to the bank.
I actually do believe they will be able to do it and they will offer it eventually. But the fact that you guys bought the game without it for $8k says there is little hope you won't be asked to pay. IMHO.
