[QUOTE="HotHamBoy, post: 271633, member: 4638"] Why is Flight 2000 bundles with Stern Bundle 1 in TPA but not SPA? Will they add it to SPA or do Switch owners need to rebuy that bundle if they already bought those tables in the now 100% redundant SPA? Will Switch owners get cross-buy support for SPA and TPA or will we be stuck with two pinball apps fot the same tables because we were told that 3 would remain exclusive to SPA? Why can't Switch owners buy the specific tables they want? Will forced bundles be the norm for all platforms after June 30th? I'd like to say the Gottlieb bundles are a good value but they aren't as most of the tables are poor. Please just let me by Flight 2000. Why did Tales of the Arabian Nights disappear for Switch owners who played it prior to updating? Was it not said that TOTAN would still be there if you played it? Some people are choosing not to update TPA on Switch for fear of losing TOTAN, a table they value more than any other table on TPA for Switch since the oyher good tables are on SPA. You're actually losing potential sales in TPA as a result. Until we have answers & changes I am ending my support for all Farsight products. I've supported a product of very poor quality for many years because I appreciated what was trying to be done and there was no other official way to play the pinball tables I loved. Now that the pinball I love is gone I have lost incentive to support the poor product. I don't know what happened between Farsight and the License Holder, but I do know what happened between Farsight and their audience. With clockwork consistency Farisght has shown general incompetence and sloppiness, stretching themselves so thin that all platforms were made to suffer from tons of bugs and missing features (and missing tables!), many of which went unaddressed for months and even years. They've been poor at communicating and content to sit on issues so they can port the game to yet another platform. They sold us all on a seperate piece of software, having us invest in a whole new bag of promises while contending with a whole new bag of bugs, only to drop support almost immediately and have it die on the vine having lived just long enough to fart out a disastrous, long-delayed launch of Ghostbusters and finally collapse into utter redundancy five months later. Congratulations, you confused the hell out of a lot of people for 18 months. 6 years of a relationship with the license holder and I'm supposed to assume they're the ones that just decided to be jerks one day? I have a strong suspicion that the blame for all of this lies at Farsight's feet. They let us down again. Consider that they had no problem launching Stern Pinball Arcade for Switch at retail, but not Pinball Arcade Season 1 as they did on PS4 and XB1. I'm forced to wonder if they weren't really sure they'd have the license and still proceeded with the eShop version. Well, Farsight, maybe you shouldn't have made such a massive assumption about your license because the cost is devestating to you most of all. And for the record, I'm not going to thank anyone for the miracle that is cabinet support when you were supposed to deliver that years ago. There is no silver lining. There's just a conclusion.
