[QUOTE="brakel, post: 142923, member: 416"] Casual gamers would not be alienated by tables that they might find obscure, they just wouldn't buy them. However, you're overlooking that people continue to discover TPA every day on the mobiles. The differential between the number of mobile sales to console sales is huge. If the sales on the mobiles dip down below the sales of consoles the net result is NOT going to be FarSight pumping more money into development. It would mean FarSight moving on to another game or games. Console and PC sales aren't going to be enough to keep a team the size that they have working on it. I'm sure you're right that sales have dipped some since the game first came out. That's why they had to pull people off the TPA team to work on another game. But it's not because the casual gamer was alienated by some of the DLC. I bet that most casual gamers are satisfied with having just a few machines in their virtual collection and if they were lucky enough to have that one favorite machine recreated in TPA then they're probably even more likely to move on to some other game. Mike doesn't know only because he doesn't work on the PS4 version. All the development has been done by FarSight but most of them don't post here. I've never seen a post from anyone claiming to be the PS3 or PS4 guy. I guess we're just unlucky that "our guy" isn't a fan forum kind of guy. [/QUOTE]
