[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 9460, member: 152"] I'm mixed. Some bugs are understandable, like the flipper shadows in CV or the black cabinet in FH. Human error, they were just missed, doesn't affect gameplay, etc. But some are real howlers, like the multiball issues in CV, which happens often enough that somebody at FarSight should have seen it repeatedly. On the third hand, FS is a smallish studio, they are releasing on many platforms and have limited resources to devote to traditional beta testing. Maybe once the PC version is out, FarSight will have the means to do public betas of tables before they're released on other platforms? (This would depend highly on the choice of distribution method.) It's not like there's a shortage of us willing to participate. And given the wide variety of PC configurations, it is not reasonable for FarSight to cover all possibilities in studio anyway. Bring out a pair of tables a month early on PC as a beta, let us try to break it in as many ways as possible, and then fix the errors before submitting on the other platforms. Maybe let the iOS and Android markets in on the beta action as well, if there's some way of conveniently doing that. That's only for Twilight Zone (and ST:TNG, should a miracle happen and we exceed $110K) as I understand it. [/QUOTE]
