[QUOTE="Ark Malmeida, post: 90642, member: 285"] In this month's newsletter in the latest interviews and podcasts section they mentioned a podcast that came out Today: Perceptive Podcast: The Future of The Pinball Arcade: [url]http://game-wisdom.com/podcast/the-pinball-arcade[/url] It's with Bobby King, as usual, and covers a lot of the standard fare, but there is a good segment on licensing that gets into the whole process in pretty good detail. Some tidbits from what I can remember: - Bobby is still negotiating for Addams Family (as we know) but he thinks he'll have a good indication of how much everything will cost within the next few weeks. - Addams Family licenses include the movie rights, an 'Addams Family Foundation', and 9 actors. - The standard license window is three years. After that they would have to get an extension or stop selling the licensed table. - The Terminator 2 license timeframe was determined by a movie studio that is associated with the rights. They were told that they would only have a 2-year window for the T2 rights so they wanted to get them and get the table out ASAP. As a result they started work on the table early in hopes that the Kickstarter would be successful. It will be out 'sooner than you would think'. - He confirmed that getting the licenses that they've already gotten has definitely opened doors. There are licenses that they think they can get now where before licensees wouldn't even give them the time of day. - He was asked if he could do one licensed table, what would it be. He said POTC and said that he hasn't made any progress with Disney, but said that won't stop him from continuing to try. [/QUOTE]
