Message: <blockquote data-quote="superballs" data-source="post: 6244" data-attributes="member: 341">I don't know how I stand regarding the Kickstarter thing,I will donate if they go that route, I'd almost rather having maybe some closed stock options and buy shares in the company.  I have faith that they will succeed and think that this would personally vest a lot of us in the success of TPA.I would, however prefer that they stick to some of the lesser known licenses, not completely vague or only known by hard core pinballers but licenses that are both well known but not so expensive.I know there's some very impressive DLC around the corner that should help with sales (and people reportedly saying that they are holding out for these tables).  There is an opportunity for FS to cement themselves into a position where bringing out a bigger license would be less of a risk.  If I were to contribute to a KickStarter campaign, the only "reward" I would like is to be able to participate in a closed beta program.  The advantage for me is I get to try tables before they are released and the advantage to FS is basically a volunteer workforce striving to ensure that their product is the best it can be.  I'm CERTAIN that anyone who participates in this care enough about this venture enough to gladly help FS release tables that are bug free.  It makes this whole thing a win win win proposition (yes 3 wins).  Farsight gets a larger userbase testing which would expediate finding bugs, the people who really really want Farsight to succeed and have emotional interest in TPA can help out (as we all want to be beta testers and have tables early). And those who want a perfect product for 2.50 a table get less to complain about in the end and Farsights reputation with those people who don't quite understand, but really want to love TPA, stays pristine.I don't want a hat or a poster or a T-Shirt or some trinket -- ok maybe a poster (**blush**).  That just feels too much like PBS to me.  Give me pre-release tables and place where I can report bugs and issues.  Give me a checklist of things to test.  This isn't something I would "gladly" do for any company but I also know for a fact that I'm not the only one here who feels this strongly about wanting TPA to not only succeed but to be the best pinball experience possible without having your hands around a physical machine (unless you're a pc user and have a pincab of course).Edit: After some thought about the trinket thing, if you were to sell things that were considered collectible (scale table replicas or TPA arcade tokens or replica flyers, instruction cards table decals or something I would gladly take part in that)</blockquote>
