I have no idea how compensation packages work for pinball designers, but there is a lot of talk in this thread about not wanting old Trudeau pins anymore. I can see Stern taking GB off their line for good. Are there any other games that could potentially have a financial benefit for the guy aside from Iron Maiden?
Quoted from Manimal:They don't even make statements on their own products, so why would they open themselves up to the liability of making any statement now? You may see something if he is convicted, but since he is presumed innocent until proven guilty, they will likely wait and see what happens.
If the local Chicago media picks up the story then I am sure they will make a statement. Until their name starts popping up in the papers, they are sure to ignore it...
Quiet dismissal for now.
Quoted from PismoArcade:Steve Ritchie is on Facebook saying that if people stop talking about it, it might "go away."
Someone then posted a link to Pinside. Given Steve's recent comments about this place, he's not going to like that.
If this is true then I just lost all respect for him today as well... Don't talk about Child Porn accusations and they might go away? WTF is wrong with people...

I was surprised that Stern had a "no comment" when asked. I would have assumed that they expected the call to come and would have a canned response ready.
