[QUOTE="smbhax, post: 135183, member: 396"] Seems to me that the reason the season pass was removed from all platforms after Apple disallowed it could be that FarSight felt they needed to have the same pricing for everyone; if iOS users didn't have a pass while everyone else did, they'd be paying 40% more per table, which obviously nobody on iOS would see as fair--and iOS is probably their single biggest market. And let's not fool ourselves, the reason why people on every platform are upset about it is really money; if they'd dropped the table price by 40% to compensate, loss of the pass would only be a slight hit to convenience; as it is though, combined with the recent drop from two to one tables per pack, in a short period of time, new tables in effect had their price multiplied x3. When I thought of that I was at first worried that FarSight had priced themselves out of the casual market, but then again a new buyer will still find nearly 40 tables at the old price, which is probably way more than someone could buy and still be considered a casual user anyway. ; ) [/QUOTE]
