Quoted from dung:
Licensed themes tend to date poorly unless its timeless. I prefer unlicensed thems, but DI? Sorry, DI is a terrible example. Pat Lawlor is a master designer, but noting cab scream old person out of technology faster than that turd. It might be the greatest game ever, I still won't drop 10k on it because its laughably awful to look at.

Great so you prefer unlicensed themes.

But the only mass produced unlicensed theme of the last 18 years is "terrible" and "laughable" and you have zero interest in.

So now you know why nobody wants to mass produce unlicensed themes.

Quoted from pickleric:
The answer to 99 out of 100 questions is money.

Nobody wants to think about that.

Everybody thinks they have some brilliant, wistful, unlicensed idea which will return us to the halcyon days of the 1990s, and return pinball to a dreamlike state of wonder.

Nothing is getting you back to the 90s except a time machine. Made of flannel and stocked only with Crystal Pepsi and Fruitopia.
