What would the general consensus be if Stern started charging customers for code updates?
I would have no problem with that at all.
So in my case, I pay 50% for my KISS LE and then I pay 10% each time they take steps to complete the code. Over time, Stern finishes my game, and I don't get angry waiting for the game to be completed. It also encourages Stern to work on the current games instead of adding code for toppers and other crap. If they don't finish the game, they don't maximize their return.
Good in theory but I think a hacker would make short work of this system. Black market code updates.
