    Yes! Off course, they should have done this long time ago.

    It will bring the costs down, better price for costumers. But they also should people allow to play all games on their pin.

    So you have an acdc pin, as it is now. They retheme it to lets say... uhmmm... deadpool, give it deadpool code. And than players who have an acdc pin can also swap to the deadpool code. This way they have multiple games on one layout.

    Off course you are playing deadpool with acdc toys on it, but it is only an extra on top of your acdc pin.

    And why only 2? Retheme the shit out of great layouts. It would be great if you buy your dreamtheme with a nice layout, and you can also swap to a few other gamecodes.

    Awesome for home and in barcades.

    When creating a new lay out, you can also pick your toys and grafix smart, knowing the multiple themes you are gonne use so they fit both themes. For example an airplane could fit on a mission impossible pin but also on a die hard pin.

    So many possibilities for costumers to get way more out of 1 pin. Than just that 1 (unfinished) gamemode.

    Stern could sell extra toys, lower cost, more fun for all, etc etc.... everybody would benefit. They could even sell the new code in a download package.

    People that dont like this i want to ask. If you have, or imagine you have one, a medieval madness pin. Would you be interested if you could buy a Monty python flying circus game mode for 200$? So you can swap from monthy to original madness code and back. Is there anybody in this world that has a medieval madness that will not like that?
