    Quoted from gac:

    Just to follow up...case in point... what impact did Stern's IJ have on the Williams IJ? Exactly. Zero. Different machine. I didn't hear anyone complain that their Williams IJ value was killed when the Stern was released. Reason? Because it didn't happen. And it wont with MM either.

    2 different games.

    Quoted from o-din:

    Great story, but I don't get the part about the original owner losing $20,000 on a car that cost under $10,000, which is also what seems to be a lot of the confusion in some of these threads. I'm sure a lot of those that are complaining paid less than what their perceived current value of their pinball machine is.

    The original owner lost 20k over when he bought it new for 61k.

    Quoted from MonsterBash26:

    I couldn't disagree with this statement more. The games are just as fun and magical as they were. except now there will be a larger community to share these experiences with.
    Saying the magic is gone is liking being in the only private country club in town and getting bitter because a new one has opened up and you can't look down on the non-members anymore.
    I've also seen a couple shots taken at PPS. How dare he find an opportunity, invest a bunch of money securing the rights, work day and night organizing his business to make it happen, and then provide a product that people desparatley want and will make a ton of people happy (as well as a healthy profit for himself)!

    PPS is NOT doing this remake out of the love of pinball or to make people happy they are doing it for the simple fact that they saw a opportunity to bring something out that they can sell with a HUGE profit margin, for anybody not to see that are blind, I applaud their business sense.

    Quoted from pinmods:

    So?
    In doing so, they are making a lot of people very happy.

    So nothing, I agree and think that it is fucking awesome.

    Quoted from PinPall007:

    ... As for remaking certain pinball machines, I think it's a lame way to keep the business alive. There's absolutely no reason why manufacturers can't come up with new ideas. It's like seeing television shows remade for a new generation of followers. Original thinking is what keeps any field interesting.

    Why come up with new ideas when you can redo a old one and make a boat load of cash, smart business sense is what is bringing mm back.

    Quoted from badbilly27:

    Wish movie and music industry would stop doing this though. Good business sense but lazy on creativity.

    I agree but it's the way of world it seems.
