[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 239965, member: 134"] You mean you didn't see he used the sarcastic font? They don't have the Zaccaria license, those are real tables, many people love the physics and lighting of that app. So yes, there is competition. Zen is (from what I understand) more successful on consoles than TPA, so more competition that happens to have been on consoles longer than FarSight. Regarding the argument of if you want to play WMS, Stern, etc, then TPA is the only way to go; wrong. Visual Pinball certainly operates in a grey area of legality, one which Stern is fully aware of and that there is a gentleman's agreement as to how soon a new table can be recreated without irking them to pressing the issue. Personally I gave up on VP years and years ago because I hated the huge disparity in quality that could be found, as well as suddenly having tables not work because a new version of VP came out. I find TPA convenient and consistent and that goes a long ways for me. For those that like to tinker and fuss, VP is king. I do gotta say that Microsoft Pinball Arcade was terrible. It actually was what made me download VP in the first place. [/QUOTE]
