I think it's fantastic that there is another manufacturer keeping pinball alive.
That said, given the debacle that went down with the MM remake, if I were a new player entering the market the last thing I would want to do is continually over promise and under deliver on a prepaid pin. Then start taking $$'s for the next one as well.
Not saying the situation or individuals are similar, but I sure as hell would want to avoid any potential comparisons.
