I assume the same people will be buying the after dark app no matter what their age is.

In my state you have to be 21 to gamble, so maybe that could be an excuse to get some gambling themed pins. Riverboat Gambler is always fun for me.

Simply awful. Way to ruin a classic.

Silverball Mania is one of those pins that looks better than it plays.

I'm sorry, but "Pinball After Dark" is the stupidest thing I've heard in a long time. I'm not a prude, I'm not trying to save the children. I just can't see how it increases the value of the game. Did I read right, that there's a game you can actually hear someone fart? I can hear that at home for free, along with adult language and on occasion (and getting farther inbetween...) female nudity. There's a bug on the "Elvira" table: sometimes shooting the ball to the left kick-out hole sends the ball flying several feet (to scale). It looks cool, but it ends your ball. Would TPA mind fixing that, and for that matter, ALL THE BUGS before introducing PAD?

What you do or don't think of as offensive or needing restriction is not up for debate. It is simply a matter of what the ESRB thinks, and their opinion WILL affect whether we ever see certain games in TPA or not. FarSight must stick to the E10 rating they currently have. End of story. So if you ever want to see a Big Bang Bar, Sopranos, Family Guy, Playboy, or Xenon in TPA for example, Pinball After Dark is the answer. If you don't, then it's no skin off your back if PAD exists, right? As for the stupidity of it, send your comments care of the ESRB.
That's just crazy talk.
Not to mention people will then need to find something else to fixate on and whine about here. Please be sensitive to their needs!
Sheesh!

Better yet, why not put all of them in one app? Normal tables in "My Tables", and separate section for PAD and FarSight originals?

Seriously, why can't DLC packs have separate ESRB ratings from the main software title? Is that an ESRB policy or a console policy? I say Farsight should just grow some kahunas and just do it anyway, and if they want to add more tables that won't fit within the E10 rating, then just bump the whole damn package up to "T for Teen". They certainly won't lose any sales by doing so, and potentially may gain a few more. Add a disclaimer before people purchase tables with "suggestive" themes, and if necessary, add an option to input a parental control PIN to access said tables, just to pacify the critics. I'm sure 99% of pinball tables ever made would pass the "Teen" ESRB ratings test if digitized.
While I can see that the Sopranos, Family Guy and Playboy could change the rating to *Teen*, I don't see how Xenon is any more problematic than Bride of Pinbot, both feature a mildly sexually suggestive metal female and feature suggestive moaning. Big Bang Bar doesn't seem risque for me at all either so I'm not really understanding how the rating could change. Not to say you are wrong or anything, but I don't quite see how some of the tables mentioned would change the ratings.

Pinball tables were once popular in bars and pool halls; censorship doesn't exist in places like that.

The issue(s) with Xenon could be the tightly wrapped ass on the playfield and all the moaning the machine does. Big bang Bar has the pole dancer, which might seem suggestive, or risque to some; even tho she is green.
Sopranos and Family Guy are F Bombed out, and Playboy, even though there is no nudity, has the association of the magazine and its brand.
You're right, pinball tables were once popular in bars and Pool Halls. However most of those places tended to have age limits, which digital devices don't. We don't know if the E rating was necessary for TPA to be published on a specific platform or was a specific licensing agreement. Either way, with Pinball After Dark there will be more opportunities for more pinball. I don't see how this can be a bad thing.

Believe me, I thought this was killed a year ago when I asked Bobby about it. It was played off as being nothing more than an internal joke. I'll press for more answers when Jeff and I go back up in a month or two.
