[QUOTE="trash80, post: 285115, member: 7578"] First, Farisght didn't BUY a license to build anything. They secured a license that allowed them to SELL an end-user license to a digital reproduction of the original table for a set amount of time. This license that Farsight secured also had an expiration date and would require it to be renegotiated and/or extended. The idea that Farsight has this "Free Play Arcade" is where you are fundamentally wrong, it isn't Farsight that has this "arcade," it is you, the end user. You purchased a license from Farsight to add the virtual pinball machine to your arcade and the key ownership to this arcade is linked to your storefront (Steam, PSN, etc) account which is the entity that manages your key licenses. I'll agree that some of the licensing terms in the digital space can be problematic, but what it seems you are wanting is a complete removal of intellectual rights protection and management, which is never a good idea.
