And all you have to accept is code that is perpetually shallow and/or clumsy and/or unfinished.

It's one thing to borrow from your own previous designs, or to even borrow from other layouts in your own company...

To steal the layout of your competitor's biggest hit...

The same people celebrating Godfather would be screaming bloody murder if it had been released first and then Godzilla a couple years later. They would say, look, total rip off, bumper, flipper, ramps, all the same place. They wouldn't accept the obviously fake stories like, but but but the GZ whitewood and sketches were done before GF got released. It's a shamless theft of the still-better Elwin layout. Let the downvotes commence, but this kind of ripping off is still rampant in apps and video games, where they take a hit game and change it from jewels to balloons, or something cosmetic like that. Sucks that it made its way over to pinball.

Holy damn, it really is a rainbow nightmare. GF got the TS4 carnival treatment.
