Abandoning all supported platforms and devices for a new one? Making an entirely new platform only playable on what platform? Abandoning all other devices, you're thinking? Like only focus on high-end PC gamer? I don't really understand what you mean. What is this new version of TPA? Where does it come from? Is it like an entirely new engine or platform? And what on earth makes you think this new platform would'nt be without problems? What on earth makes you think farsight would suddenly out of the blue stay ahead of problems? NOTHING in their history suggests they get anything right first try. 2: I think they are on their way to go over and upgrading the old tables. It's will be part of the harder tunings for tables. The first 8 that got voted for didn't include ToM sadly. But if all turns out well I would be very surprised if ToM wasn't one of the first in line to get the makeover after the initial 8 are done.3: The 2 a month packs included one previously released pin which got a makeover, and a new one, but seems like keeping up that pace was a little too much and bugs were left without fix to prioritize next double release instead. I don't know what you think has changed and why farsight would suddenly put out 2 bugless pins a month, even if 1 of them is an old one. They are barely making 1 as it is now. Well, oh yeah you're thinking the new TPA version will magically fix everything.When/if farsight get their pins more or less bug free and run out of pins to recreate they should be working on bringing in new users. I'm thinking a way to do that, a future TPA 2.0, would be a virtual arcade and community, where you have all the pins lined up, some lounge area, and you create your own avatar and can walk around in the arcade and play the pinball machines against people there or by yourself and maybe try to beat the GC score so you can enter your initials, or just go to the lounge area and hang out and talk to people. This could be the thing that draws in a great new crowd of users, but Farsight should just work on getting all of their pins in great condition and not rush new tables, one a month is sufficent, before moving on to Pinball Arcade 2.0.</blockquote>
