As seen in the soren updated code thread, it's pretty clear people want to pay zero for code updates. There was some real pushback there on $20. $20.... think about that. $20 to fix bugs in a game and expand out fairness in tournaments.
$400 worth of LEDs, stupid toppers for $1000, etc. and people won't pony up $20 for a code update. Well, one person will, and then copy it, and then it's on pin universe, etc. so everyone else can d/l it for free.
Also, didn't CG update the code for MBr anyway for the lightshows?
CC doesn't really count because it was released without finished code.
