[QUOTE="PiN WiZ, post: 7098, member: 31"] I also enjoy using VP/FP and have done so for the better part of the last decade, but if many of the guys in the VP/FP community were as passionate about preserving pinball as they say they are, then they should have no problem supporting FarSight in what they're doing, which is preserving pinball and making it available for generations to come. The problem is exactly what you stated, [B]"But if they fear all of that will go away if new liscence holders are going to shut them down they are gonna defend a decade of hard work."[/B] The problem here is that those who chose to put time, money and effort into recreating classic pinball tables license free knew that if sometime in the future a developer (FarSight in this case) decided to step up to the plate and legally acquire all licensing to recreate classic pinball tables, there was a chance that said developer may ask the license holders to put an end to unauthorized recreations of licensed properties that FarSight has put alot of work, effort and money into acquiring themselves. I'm not saying that this is going to happen, but I find it ridiculous for so-called passionate pinball enthusiasts to refuse to support a developer that has done something no other developer up to this point would even attempt to consider doing just because they think they'll lose a decade of hard work they put into VP/FP.
