Hi Ryan, As of now, the only game we have updated to the new game engine is ChangeReaction. That leaves Alien Outback, DynaMan, and 9 pinball tables available with scoreboard support. We're not expecting users to go back to the old CR to post scores. When we suggest that users can show us they want this support, we're talking about the eleven other boards that are currently up and running.
Scoreboard usage has never been all that high in comparison to the number of games sold, so it is hard to justify putting the time and resources into doing this for such a small number of users. if we can see that more than a handful of folks want this feature, it would bump it up on the priority list. I think this is perfectly reasonable. We're certainly not suggesting you play the old CR just to post scores. Hope this clears things up for you.
