[QUOTE="invitro, post: 222040, member: 446"] 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 SAM/Spike/whatever. Farsight still needs to make the emulation code, but maybe this deal means a Stern programmer will help or support the Farsight programmers. So second is, I'm guessing, programming support from Stern. Third is being able to release SAM/Spike tables without having to do them for low-powered devices. They could already have done that, but maybe because it's a "new app" (it's probably just an identical clone of TPA, with the SAM/Spike programming), people on those devices won't get as angry :). Anyway, I'd say which tables are released will still come down to what it always has: cost of the table licenses, and cost of the emulation code. I'll bet there will still be no Disney-licensed tables, but there may be Wheel of Fortune, Big Buck Hunter Pro, Terminator 3 early, maybe TSPP, and when Spike is emulated, well I don't remember exactly when Spike started, but surely Walking Dead and Game of Thrones. I really hope the big rock music tables happen but they still seem unlikely to me, especially with a bunch of lesser-license tables now probably more likely. [/QUOTE]
