[QUOTE="karussellbremser, post: 271393, member: 5657"] Also quite appalled by this news. I'd like to think that TPA will continue to grow nicely without Williams/Bally tables, but I'm not sure if this is going to happen. I also do not think that the decision by WMS is necessarily very much thought through, it may just be a Trump-esque move after a change of management, where the new management may just not care for the pinball licenses or may have misunderstood the market. Because I sincerely do not see another company, e.g. Zen, going through the hassle of recreating all the popular tables that Farsight has already digitized and a that big part of the target audience is and will be able to access without buying again from another company. Thus, I think it may be worth a shot to try to convince the WMS license holder (that should be [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_Games_Corporation"]Scientific Games[/URL], right?) that they should care about their pinball licenses and inform them about the consequences of their decision. We all know what social media campaigns with many participants can change, so why not trying it in this case? What are your opinions on this? Or does anybody have any ideas of the specific reason the deal was not extended? Could be helpful to know. [/QUOTE]
