That's a fair way to look at it, but another way to look at it is that there are so many tables that are much, much better and far more deserving of one of the very limited spots available in TPA. We get 12ish tables a year and who knows how many more seasons of TPA we can expect?The reason there has been so few Premiers up until this year is pretty clear: They aren't very good and they aren't very popular. For that matter, even the Premieres that are good hsve been passed over. I will say that I thought Gladiators was kinda cool the one time I played it on location, but that was before I was exposed to a lot more games that helped shape my idea of what good pinball is.I will buy it, I buy every pack to support Farsight's efforts and give each table a fair shake. It's still disappointing know how many fantastic tables are out there that will never make it to TPA. Thing is, as much as I believe in voting with your wallet, I feel like TPA is a case where the only thing I'd be voting for is for Farsight to stop making TPA all-together, and I don't want that.It would just be a real shame if some of the greats never made it.On the other hand, now that we have Stern Pinball Arcade we will at least be get more tables every year and some are going to be fantastic, like Ghostbusters. Now if only they'd give us a release date for the other platforms, I'm not very keen about playing on the PS4 so far... it's kind of busted and the landscape camera combined with the resolution and dark lighting make it pretty hard to see comfortably.
