[QUOTE="invitro, post: 217961, member: 446"] State what you're confused about, and maybe some of us can help :). Williams and Bally are the same company, and I'd be shocked if they had different licenses. I don't think there's any such thing as a main license, but maybe I'm misunderstanding. The pinball company licenses don't affect which tables are made, unless one runs out like when the six Gottlieb in a row happened. What matters is whether licenses from non-pinball companies are needed. You probably know that, remember that list I made of "lesser" movie/tv licenses I made in another of your threads, recently. Things other than licenses are of high importance also. How popular a table was (production numbers), how good it is (IPDB and Pinside ratings), whether it's a DMD, whether it's solid state or EM, if it has a Stern MPU (newer than Whitestar?) that can't be emulated well on slower phones (I think I got that right), if it's Capcom which I think has the same issues as the newer Stern MPU's. You may want to check out the contest I made to predict Season 5: [url]http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/10212-CONTEST-Predict-Season-5-amp-Table-Packs-39-amp-40!/[/url] I made it to see if anyone here could really predict what new tables would be. There was much, much more consensus in the picks than I expected. I could go on... but it's better if you pick out something specific to ask about, I think? [/QUOTE]
