    Quoted from Doctor6:

    And you're missing out.

    no he isn't, why is it so hard for you people to understand when it comes to pinball and most games theme matters. Happy for all who don't care but u are in the minority.

    Why are licensed themes the rule, not the exception?

    Because they are better. I like both but prefer a licensed pin with a theme I love.

    Quoted from holminone:

    But with the current heavy bias towards licensing

    By whom exactly? Seems to me pinheads love to get a game made in a theme they find endearing, something from their childhood or a band they have followed and enjoyed for decades. Sorry to say sir but u have the bias and as I stated in a previous post are in the minority with this distain for licensed themes.

    Quoted from chrismcb:

    I think you are reading too much into it. That being said, a lot of the recent licenses are awful... but that has nothing to do with the license, just that they are awful.

    Yep, this is the real issue and its all personal taste.

    Quoted from holminone:

    Let’s be clear. I have a disdain for licenses chosen or executed in poor taste and that they are the rule of design.

    poor taste? I'm just not getting it. LOTR's is a great game but the art sucks its pictures of the cast so how can that be #2 and while I'm a huge StarTrek fan the art doesn't even come close to Z Yeti's work on some of the most modern Sterns. You have been hurt by something I think, maybe the Beatles? I don't know but for me I'll take a license with great art over the cartoon crap from the 90's via OG themes. To each his own. Don't care anymore.
