[QUOTE="soundwave106, post: 148664, member: 3746"] Personally, I expect if Eight Ball Deluxe is released, it will be towards the end when the "low hanging fruit" remaining in the System 11 and DMDs are exhausted. Sure. But I guess one issue I see here is that a helluv a lot of the iconic non-licensed DMDs and even System 11 pins have been done already. There's some left of course (I expect all three of the System 11s in the poll to eventually be released for instance) and I think we could make it through Season 3 and maybe at least some of Season 4 without some of these older pins. After that, I honestly scratch my head what a Season 5 looks like without any older pins. At least, a Season 5 that doesn't include some sort of blah modern entries. I see three paths going forward. One is that a few good EM or early SS machines will make it. (In the recent Facebook post announcing Diner, believe it or not, from my count, a huge portion of the requests *that had no obvious licensing issues* came from the late 1970s - early 1980s.) The second is that Farsight actually does some license work for the minor licenses (pins like Road Show, Monopoly, Roller Coaster Typhoon, etc.) and maybe aligns with the new pinball companies. If they do that, and get a few kicks in for *really* in demand licenses (eg TAF, Indy), there's enough to flush out a couple of seasons without dipping into "old pin" territory. (We all know that Road Show or other low-license Williams/Bally would outsell anything old. I'm not as certain about the Sterns without a real attractive theme, to be honest.). The third is that Farsight starts releasing some honestly mediocre or poor Sys 11 / DMDs. Meh to that. I play Big Shot and Centaur far more than Dr. Dude and Harley Davidson. :p In other words, barring some unexpected license heft, the seasons aren't going to look as attractive unless they start throwing a few bones to the older crowd.
