[QUOTE="EldarOfSuburbia, post: 203968, member: 4106"] Cab mode is still only a relatively small sub-set of PC enthusiast users. They're not twiddling their thumbs; they're working on it as and when they can in between working on stuff that is for the benefit of a greater number of users. Farsight is a small studio with one or two developers available to work on any given platform. From what I can tell they have one PC developer, and an "engine guy". Well the past few months their PC developer has not only been doing the monthly sprints to get new tables out, he has been "twiddling his thumbs" getting DX11 ready and putting in code ready for tournament/difficulty settings, both of which are labor-intensive processes that require revisiting each table individually. There are only so many hours in a day. Don't mistake someone who is being directed to do what his supervisors and managers require of him - i.e. an employee - with an enthusiast/hobbyist who can dive into a single project without regard to any other priorities. As far as PC support goes, DX11 benefits everyone. Tournament/difficulty settings benefit everyone. Maybe they concentrate more on cab users after DX11 and tournament/difficulty settings are done.
