[QUOTE="DokkenRokken, post: 148468, member: 4295"] Not really. I'm on there every day, and I'll see a request for something like "Wizard" every now and then, but that's about it. I'm not sure where you're seeing EM requests "almost every day"? If that were true, Farsight wouldn't give the same response to EM's as I just did here. I almost feel bad because on the rare occasion someone DOES ask for an EM, like "KISS" or "Playboy", it's always the same response: "Too expensive, not highly requested, not worth it." The company is always going to go with what the fans want and what sells. I've played a lot of EM's throughout my life, and I've rarely felt like one was any different than the other. Of course, there are stand outs like "Big Shot", but they are few and far between. The issue is that the standard pinball fan wants the toys, the videos, and cool lights. They don't really care for a few bumpers and a bell. Like I said, I'd be all for 1 EM a season, just to show a little variety, whet the old schooler's appetites, and more importantly, to get them to stop going on and on about EM tables that barely anyone wants or cares for. I know one of the basic defense arguments is that "Well, you had to be there" or "You're too young", but that's garbage. I'm 28, and grew up on Atari, and I STILL own and play the thing today. I actually prefer the older systems like the 2600, NES, Genesis, etc over the stuff that's out today, because those are my preferences. However, I wouldn't even begin to try to defend those systems over the systems that are out now because they're more advance, better graphics, etc. The same can be said for SS and DMD tables, and you can't blame the general public for wanting the better tables, the more fascinating tables. That's just the way it is. [/QUOTE]
