Quoted from KingBW:

I was too distracted by Jack laughing and my wife jumping up and down to tell you the truth. I think there was some acknowledgement on-screen, not sure if there was an associated video or not. I know ... I let you down on that one. We just had too good of a time I guess. If not there now, I would expect that they will do something in future releases. Jack was proud of Keith and the coding team that it will be shipped with "complete" code and made a point to mention that. They always add some finishing touches later. It seems that they listen to good ideas for tweaks, and that seems like one of them that most of their customer base agrees with, so if they can (with licensing permissions), I'm sure they will.

With deadpool being announced and looking awesome. Im finally cancelling me preorder. Picked up a SW premium and will be getting a Deadpool premium in a few months. POTC Lost every bit of HYPE for me and im not the only one clearly.
I had a bad taste in my mouth about buying the first model anyways. JJP has had mechanical issues where they had to send out parts to owners with almost every machine. Not to mention i hated the thought of buying the first LE. Then a year and a half from now a sweet BlackPearl Version being released.
I still love the game. And ill probably be back on board for the Black Pearl addition a year or two from now. Also gives them time to polish out whatever problems for this model arrise.
Fact is however if they would have stayed on schedule. Not had a disc gate situation. And released in q1 of 2018. They would have had my money no doubt. Mistakes were made.
