[QUOTE="EldarOfSuburbia, post: 222002, member: 4106"] It's on the Stern Pinball Facebook page. Probably elsewhere too. But yep, it's official :D Some things: 1. It's a new App. This means they can do SAM/SPIKE emulation on those [mobile] platforms that can support it, and drop support for platforms that don't, without annoying the core TPA fanbase. Yes those with older devices will be left out, but that's the way of the mobile market. 2. Nothing mentioned about consoles/PC? That doesn't surprise me, to be honest - especially PC. I don't expect to see this on PC, ever, because Stern will [I]not[/I] want anyone putting the "official" digitized versions of their tables into a virtual cab. 3. Licensing... obviously Stern are going to bake a digital clause into future licenses, and may be able to retroactively get one sorted out for past licenses too (or maybe they were thinking ahead of time and had them in place?). Means FS don't need to worry about licensing. 4. Cost - what would you be willing to pay per table? [/QUOTE]
