    If there's actual "stealing" going on, the modder should file a C&D or a lawsuit. But whenever you sell a product without a patent, your ideas become public domain. That's the way of the world.

    Quoted from Aurich:

    Yeah, screw the little guys and your community, support big business!!

    Stern is "big business"? Are they "the man" too?

    Quoted from calvin12:

    I find it hard to believe anyone saw a $200 mod then said, damn now I gotta get a $5000 pin.

    I won't lie, the arcade mod for Tron almost did that for me.
