I certainly do not want FarSight to slow down on the table releases. I think it is a great schedule that keeps us interested in playing the game. I would like them to hire more people. Specifically, I'd like them to hire people that can optimize the game for specific platforms. I don't even know if optimize is the right word, as now that I've seen the Vita screens, I think that needs a top down different approach. Having people who are specifically aware of each platforms quirks would, I believe, cut down the number of bugs that later pop up.
They really are a talented bunch of guys up there. I can't stress that enough. They also are all very passionate about pinball. It bugs me when I hear people throwing around "FS is being greedy". I visited their studio. There's nothing excessive, nothing lavish about it. The parking lot wasn't filled with high end cars. Every person working there has multiple jobs on top of their actual job title. That's why I say they need more bodies.
As for forcing people to now buy 2 tables instead of one...boo hoo. Been that way since day one on consoles. There's been a few times where the table I thought I'd wanted turned out to be the lesser of the 2. My gut tells me the sudden switch for you guys on mobiles though is tying into tournament plans. The more tables they know you have, the more players that can enter.
