Uh, yes I realise that. There's nowhere near me I can go and pay to play real pinball, but I pay to play them whenever I see a game in a pub. I'm sure we all do. So I shelled out loads of cash to buy some real pinball machines, do you think I should pay someone else when I play those? No way, of course not.Same goes for when we all paid to 'buy' a virtual TZ or AFM or whatever in TPA - do you think therefore we would be happy, any of us, if they somehow decided they're gonna change the agreement and lock us out of playing it whenever we want, unless we pay them some more every so often, even for those games? Dude, that would suck big time.So now they release a game we never saw in real life as it never existed, and this time it's on limited play unless we pay again and again. Don't you realise they're setting up for a situation where a future TPA table is just the same?Back to my own real life machine in a hypothetical similar scenario to what Farsight is teeing up: now I don't get to 'own' it at all. I have to pay a lump sum and give it space and electricity and parts and attention, but now apparently I have to swipe my hypothetical credit card on it if I want to play my own machine? Stuff that, dude. Seriously, we should not be supporting this Ghostbusters venture at all, unless we want, a year from now, to be playing some new game in TPA like Lord of the Rings, and to find we have to pay Farsight (and maybe they pay Stern, and maybe Wingnut Films, and maybe Elijah Wood) every time we want to play the bloody thing. If you don't want that, don't buy this./rant over.
