You still have access to it. The only way it can be closed is if FarSight closes down their servers or you had all your purchases through Steam. You bought the arcade like a franchise, and FarSight delivered the product. Nobody new can franchise an arcade for themselves. You are completely off your rocker. Should Zen have then paid the exact same price for the license that FarSight did? Because there's no way in hell they would since an existing product has already flooded the market. Where would be the incentive? And what happens when SG sells their ownership of the license to another company? Do FarSight and Zen continue to have the license in perpetuity? Essentially they are then co-owners of the license, and the value of true ownership of the license would be diluted to the point a new buy wouldn't pay its true worth. Like hell they didn't. Zen and Magic Pixel both had digital pinball games on the market. The tables sold might have been different, but you better believe they were competing for the same customers. This has to be one of the silliest statements you've made so far. You're new to this forum, so I can forgive you not knowing this, but this very forum has been on FarSight's case to match the polish of Zen for years and years. There are probably any number of reasons why FarSight didn't correct certain things, but lack of competition wasn't one of them.I don't think you'll find one license owner that would agree with you, digital or not. More to the point, and you've failed to answer on this, if you owned a license neither would you. You put something out there in perpetuity, the cat is out of the bag and you aren't ever getting control of it again. That would simply be the downfall of your company, because either people wouldn't do business with you at all, or people would take massive advantage of your 'generosity'.Recognize you're on the wrong side of this one, as so far it's you and only you against heaps of other people here that recognize sound logic.</blockquote>
