Aurich please remember that Keith worked at stern for an long time..
thanks to the opportunity he had @ Stern back in those days he kinda raised his fame with excellent programming on games like Lotr / Tspp and if it wasnt for the 2008 pinball blackout he would probably still work at Stern..
but hey at the end he founded Jack and collaborate with him and together with an bunch of other pinball talents they formed JJP.. and its so far working out for both companies.. what we have now is the best for the whole pinball business/community in general. im pretty sure keith will be glad he had that opportunity with Stern at the time to learn and get his skill set down. and im sure that the programmers at Stern will be working around the clock to get things done too.. and both company's have their own kind of problems.
