[QUOTE="lio, post: 222907, member: 3222"] I'm really looking forward to this! And I really wonder how they want to pull it off with the pricing etc. With Stern probably seeing this mainly as a way to promote the physical game and to raise interest (for people to buy the game or to go out and seek a real table) I guess they will try to work out some free-2-play or token based model (I too hate tokens but I fear they might think it could be a good idea and for their purpose it might actually work). Maybe they will have in-app purchases where 10 credits cost as much as 1 credit in the real world (so 10-15 for 1$ or so) in addition to free tokens you get over time or by clicking sponsored ads or whatever - I just really hope that they will offer an option to unlock the full table to free play / unlimited credits without ads for a reasonable price - say 11.99$ for Pro, 13.99$ for Premium and 15.99$ for LE and a discount pack containing all versions for say 35.99$. I don't think we will see a "full unlock" for 3-5 dollars because Stern will not want this to be a cheap substitue for their real games. I know times have changed and a lot of players consider anything that costs more than a few dollars (on mobile platforms anyway) to be too expensive - especially those with "it's just a pinball table" mindset that complain about 2.99$ for a ZEN Pinball FX2 table but personally I purchased all Pro Pinball games for ~50 bucks each back in the 90's and did not consider them overpriced at that time... so if the quality is right I'm willing to pay a premium price. I just hope they don't mess this up... the idea is great and I'd love to get to play more modern Stern games that way but I wonder how this will work out in the end. [/QUOTE]
