So no, as a developer I am never put off by direct competition. I have faced it many times. I face it every day in every capacity, and it is what has helped me continue to evolve and progress. If my product isn't strong enough to resist being bullied out of a market by some mega corporation directly competing with me, then such is life. I'll try another way. However, the folks in digital pinball all seem of pretty modest means, so I still don't see why fostering competition isn't the goal of digital license holders. Shortsighted bottom line thinking is the myopic land of the salesman, and to paraphrase Jobs, first it is about creating a great product, and innovating, then the saleman take over leadership, because they can move the needle on revenue, and then the product's quality sinks...because the vision and long-term mindset of salespersons is historically very weak.</p></blockquote><p></p>
