[QUOTE="Echeos, post: 271714, member: 2895"] Man, I'm really torn on this. When I first discovered TPA I was like a kid in a candy store. Discovering tables like Attack From Mars and ST:TNG was an absolute joy. I was so excited to see all the tables they had available but I carefully apportioned my joy after buying season one; trying my best to get as far on one table before I downloaded the next. But I as I played TPA more and more I found more and more bugs. It would lose my high scores or achievements, the screen would go blank when I rotated my iPad, the camera would get stuck, the ball would get stuck and suggested workarounds for these issues didn't always work. I got as far as buying Season 3 before sending FarSight an email detailing issues in Black Hole, Cirqus Voltaire and possible others. After a week or so I got back an email saying simply that they were aware of these issues. Black Hole has received updates since then to fix these issues but CV remains pretty broken on iOS. The camera gets stuck in multiball, the judges never change and it won't register the fact that I've completed the goals. So, until this announcement, I haven't purchased any more tables because it just doesn't seem like value for money. What's ironic about this from reading around the forums is that apparently Season One is still FarSight's highest source of revenue. Maybe it would make business sense to resolve issues like this in Season One to create a good impression with customers so more of them will buy Season Two? But you may as well talk to the wall. So now I've bought Seasons 4 to 7 because if I don't there's a chance I'll never get to play these tables. But if the license isn't granted to another dev then I think I'd rather have FarSight rather than nobody working on bringing more tables to the playing public. This is what's so frustrating. With a decent source control tool the devs should be able to easily identify and revert the breaking change. I know there are people working their ass off in FarSight trying to get things right but I think at it's core the company just can't see the bigger picture. [/QUOTE]
