Don't you think companies would be far more likely to deal with Stern than Farsight, due to their much greater age, # of employees, familiarity as a brand, and presumably revenues? I do. :) And it's a fact that Stern has experience successfully negotiating for a license for all of their...

How did you survive when TZ, MB, STTNG, AFM, MM etc were released? :)

I may be misunderstanding, but the individual table .csv downloads (aka a file like "TPA_ElviraScaredStiff.zip") contains only the top 2000 scores also. And on what Tann said above, the "website leaderboards" contain only the top 510 scores, not 2000. You may be using "website leaderboards" to...

Are we ourselves?

4. What about Victory Laps? :)

I think they already have the Capcom license; I think what they needed to work on was emulating the Capcom ROM's. But I'd guess they're gonna stop that work now and work on SAM and/or Spike.

Does this come from this article? http://venturebeat.com/2015/09/22/stern-pinball-arcade-ensures-you-dont-have-to-drain-your-savings-to-own-a-classic-machine/ I saw that Stern linked to this article with a thumbnail of Metallica from the article. That pic was chosen by the article writer, and...

Ok. I'd guess it just means post-1990 Sterns, but I don't know what exactly they said. It's not in the press release, though?

Well I sure hope not. But I don't think it's impossible.

What do you guys know about Farsight working with Stern designers to make new designs for SPA? I found this article which is a year and a half old: Virtual games bring pinball to new audiences http://www.bbc.com/news/business-26018682 3 Febuary 2014 I don't remember hearing this news here...

Can you give a link to the press release? I can't find the word "modern" in the only press release I've found, at: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/stern-officially-partners-with-farsight-studios What I see is "FarSight will develop a new digital platform called the Stern Pinball Arcade...

It doesn't make much sense to me that any table made before right now would have video game rights. Why would Stern want to pay that extra amount unless they were definite that they would be used? I'm just guessing of course...

He said: "Right now, I'm optimistic that we will continue at least through Season Six." I don't believe that's "confirmation." Also, it's not impossible that the Stern TPA is over a year from release. I don't think Farsight is gonna get a new app, and SAM or Spike emulation, written in a...

You're assuming that TPA will keep on rolling with a table per month. I think the Stern TPA will replace TPA. I don't think it's just a guess... why would either Farsight or Stern want to make Bad Cats when they could make X-Files?

Nah. The main reason it's a separate app is that the licensors are more likely to deal with Stern than Farsight, and secondly to have an excuse for dropping weak-device support. Why would someone be more likely to buy DLC for The Stern Pinball Arcade than The Pinball Arcade, if the included...

Why not?

I don't see any reason to continue TPA once they start churning out Stern/Sega/DE tables. There are no unlicensed WMS/Bally/Gottlieb tables that have a chance of matching the sales of the DMD Stern/Sega/DE licensed tables. So unless Farsight can't make one Stern/Sega/DE a month, I'm guessing...

Then playing 1990's WMS tables on PC must be pure heaven.

Well... let's think about what Farsight gets from this. First is, I'm assuming, big license support. There's actually nothing at all in the announcement that Farsight didn't already have... they could've released AC/DC any time if they had the license, and the code to emulate...

I told you so.
