It's not the first time manufacturers offered toppers.
Honestly, I'm not that concerned. Modders can still make stuff for older games, and alternate mods for existing games.
Just because the manufacturer puts out a couple options, doesn't necessarily mean they would be better than what's coming out of the modding community.
Quoted from inhomearcades:Moddders also continue to rip off not only the manufacturer but also the licensor of whatever pinball title it is by designing items with out paying for or gaining consent of the parties who already did pay for that priveledge.
Mods would only have to be licensed under certain specific conditions, such as the use of existing artwork. Otherwise, modders are free to offer whatever they want and don't have to seek consent.
That would be like having to go to the manufacturer of a bicycle and asking them if you could sell an attachment with blinky lights that fits on their bicycle.
