He still tries authentic pinball and such though. He did buy Williams Collection for the PS3.Anyway, he refuses to get TPA for the following reasons:1. The core game has few tables2. It will have too much DLC3. I don't like the kickstarter thingAll these reasons baffle me. For one, the base game has 4 tables, which is exactly what the base game for Zen Pinball and Marvel Pinball had. That makes no sense to me. Two. Zen and Marvel Pinball already has lots of DLC tables. What makes TPA any different? Three. He thinks Farsight is being greedy and asking ppl for money to fund new tables. I told him that some real pinball tables are based on properties (movies, TV, etc) and they require a higher cost for licensing if Farsight uses them for future tables. You need licenses from the company who made the table, the guy who designed the table, the actors involved (if any), the license for the movie/TV (if any), the sound effects, etc, etc. He then pointed out that Marvel is a property too. Marvel is just one studio though, I told him, and getting a license from them would (I presume) a whole lot cheaper than the actors, SFX, movie studios, etc, especially from a company like Lucasfilm. He doesn't believe me and just thinks Farsight is greedy and he doesn't like the way they do business.It's a shame, really. Farsight is doing a wonderful thing recreating (and preserving) all these tables in virtual format and I can't believe people would actually not want to support them. Any thoughts?</blockquote>
