Stern's license for making Indiana Jones tables is over. They no longer hold the rights. More to the point, they owned the rights to make that physical machine, they did not own the rights to anything Indiana Jones.The current theory, and we've had semi confirmation from FarSight, is that for a table like Deadpool, Zen currently holds the digital pinball rights to the license. That's to any digital pinball, recreation or not. In the case of Indiana Jones, if Zen got to the WMS version first, it would in theory prevent FarSight from making the Stern version. So long as Zen keeps paying for exclusivity rights, no one else will get to touch it. The key being, they'll have to keep paying.
