These node boards just reek of Stern trying to manufacture an eventual obsolescence. They really don't want these machines to last for 50 years anymore. Where's the profit in that, said the Ferengi.

Quoted from Shapeshifter:If games like KISS, GB and GOT, become obsolete, it would sure kill present day sales, so it is not in Stern's interest for games to fail.
It is worrying that the boards are not for sale on the big pinball retail sites.
If this in fact does happen, Stern will have a shit storm on their hands. Customers aren't as stupid and uniformed as the pre-information age. (Although a lot are still pretty dumb). Stern would get caught with their pants down when their customers find out that they knowingly are sabotaging the product for failure.
Quoted from Crash:Planned obsolescence.
If this is indeed the "way of the future" prices would have to drop dramatically and the secondary market would be nothing but junk pickers. You would see 70's/80's/90's pins skyrocket in price. How's a Bally Night Rider for 5-6K sound?
