Part of the reason why I think it worked so well as an arcade game was because digital distribution meant that in theory they could get DLC out a lot easier, plus it'd be cheaper to just stick it directly through the digital medium rather than produce thousands of disks.Yes TPA would get more sales being sold as a disk... but would those sales wipe out the cost of producing the initial run in the first place? Plus without a major distributor backing them, there's no way that they'll get a prominent slot in a GAME or Best Buy, they'd probably be lucky to get sold at a supermarket considering how technically niche the title is.DLC is the future of gaming, unfortunately, the cost of going so far into the future already is that only a fraction of people are ready to make the step up in the first place. The entire target market is about 18-40 year olds because who lets their kid use a credit card unless they're loaded? Yes, they've stunted their target audience (in an already niche subject) but as a result they have much more control over what they can release. I don't think ANY of us would see The Twilight Zone or Star Trek:TNG if TPA had been released as a disc first and foremost.</blockquote>
