Another great read and one that is close to heart.

We need social gadflies like flashinstinct (and spiroagnew ) to keep companies like Stern accountable, rather than the end consumer being forced to act like little more than lapdogs begging for table scraps when a code update is eventually released.

Sure the campaign didn't effect actual change within Stern (I wasn't expecting it to), but at the very least it got a message out to Stern that not every collector/enthusiast is willing to accept the manufacturing philosophy at Stern as it currently stands.

It shows a complete disrespect for a "significant leg" of Stern's three legged stool customer base to continue to ignore and dismiss in my mind reasonable requests for code updates that would enable originally advertised game functions to actually function years after the games were released!

And some of the memes that were produced were hilarious.
