Well personally I don't like it.  Better off moving forward, it's the only way for pinball to survive in the long term.  Would hate to see Stern close up due to declining sales caused by remakes.

Maybe it is a move in the right direction, instead of every pinball being a movie or band theme, this may start them on the path to creating their own original themes.
Licensed themes always seem to create more hassle with replacement parts down the road.
