I bought an MMR LE and sold it after about a year. I know several other buyers who did the same. I would guess a large fraction of NIB buyers no longer own the game. I can’t think of any other product where the manufacturer has the ability to make a better version but doesn’t out of respect for people that bought the version they sold several years ago. Did Xbox 360 owners boycott Microsoft once the Xbox one then One X was available for the same price? There is now a lot more competition in the NIB pinball market than when MMR was first sold. If CGC decides to offer a MMR with small LCD screen they are only cheating themselves as virtually all competing NIB games now offer a larger LCD.

That's great and I agree with you. Those that are happy with what they have and will never sell won't be hurt by a new version. For a lot of us space is at a premium and new games are a constant temptation so we can't keep everything we might like forever. Some previous owners might be tempted to revisit MMR if they offered a new and potentially better experience. AFM LE and MB LE owners might want something similar to those games with a big color display and a topper. The new game market has changed a lot since MMR was announced in 2013: Virtually every new game now has a large color LCD, no one is paying $15k for a routed original MM, and discounted used HUO MMR are easy to find on the secondary market. I would guess the potential buyers of a NIB $8k MMR standard with a small monochrome displace would be limited.
