[QUOTE="bonch, post: 16884, member: 530"] 15% are on versions of OS X that can't run the Mac App Store anyway. In that scenario, bug fixes must be submitted to Apple, approved, and kept in sync with multiple apps. Users would have to update all of them whenever a fundamental change was made that affected them all. Now consider the situation a year from now when there are 20+ tables and you can see that the idea doesn't scale. Even the developers of Pinball HD on iOS used to sell their tables individually, but they eventually unified them into one application with in-app purchases. The only way I could see Farsight providing DLC tables on 10.6 would be hosting their own DLC service and selling Pinball Arcade outside the App Store, which I can't see happening. I'm curious why you will never upgrade until you've purchased a new Mac in a couple of years. Mountain Lion is due out at the end of the month, is only $20, and can be upgraded from Snow Leopard. In 2014, Snow Leopard will be a five year old operating system and unlikely to be supported anymore by the majority of apps. If there's a work-related compatibility reason for remaining on Snow Leopard, then you shouldn't be expecting your machine to be supported as a general-purpose computer anyway. [/QUOTE]
