Throwback: The Pin happened. Why not Seawitch, etc.?

I post this not only for “The Pin” itself, but to ask the following question:

I’m no expert, but …

If STERN could release “The Pin”, a solid looking, nearly full size game with alpha numeric displays for $2,499.00, what prevents Stern from bringing back some classic Stern games for around the same price? Even if there were a “3” in front of the price tag instead of a “2” that would move games out of the door.

I’m just asking questions! ( 🙂 )

Would a re-release of Seawitch have to cost $6,000.00 or more?

Is it predicted that not enough people would buy them?
Would the re-creation of parts cost a prohibitive amount?
Maybe the ‘The Pin” itself wasn’t very successful. Was it? Did many people buy it?
Maybe they just don’t want to dip into the classic Stern library.
Maybe it just costs that much to make a game now.
Or, is it that people will buy them. LOTS of people. So, the market dictates that they would be able to sell them for $6,000.00 or more and still sell as many as they want.

I’m trying to answer my own questions, because I honestly would like to know. I believe a past episode of Coast 2 Coast Pinball went through some of this, so now I have to hunt for that particular edition of the show.
