[QUOTE="BStarfire, post: 239014, member: 1963"] Pretty much a pre-order. A set amount of dollars will have to go to pay the license so they want to ensure they have enough interest/sales to justify paying for the license. It reminds of the boardgame world where games will sit on P500 lists until they get a set number of orders (usually 500 for physical games). This ensures that enough sales will justify the expense of producing a minimum number of copies. Some games reach it quickly, others could take a year or two, but it also ensures the games with the most demand get made first. That wouldn't be a bad way to do pinball tables... polls are easy and everyone votes, but voting with pre-orders would really show where the demand is. Put up a big list of tables and as soon as one gets over some threshold, it gets made next... if more than one over when next table is to be made, use the one with the highest total, then re-evaluate the following cycle. This wouldn't work for licensed games that might have additional fees and need regular kick-starters, but would be interesting to see. [/QUOTE]
