    As an open source developer I welcome this (the fact it's open from what I have heard) but the piece that gets me is 2 games for 10k. No it's really 1 physical game with different stuff on the LCD. The playfield layout will always be identical. So 5 different games is still pretty much the same core game.

    People here bitch if stern uses a similar layout for 2 different games even with a retheme and different software. Could you imagine the exact same layout, base artwork, etc with the only variance being what's shown on the LCD? I can see the witch hunt now.

    What made p2k interesting was the playfield was the module and a small piece of software. Take that modularity away and it becomes redundant to play the same exact playfield over and over regardless of what's displayed.

    I think it's cool as hell personally.

    Quoted from krupa:

    No, the layouts won't be identical. The upper module with the ramps and such can be removed and replaced with different modules for different layouts. That's one of the things that's so cool about it.

    I understand that but changing the upper 30% of a playfield doesnt change the experience all that much.
