[QUOTE="MWink, post: 57252, member: 1979"] I have to disagree with the comment that corporations can't be greedy. Corporations are run by people who experience emotions. I understand their purpose is to make money but I feel there's a difference between offering a good product for a reasonable price and offering the bare minimum people will tolerate for the highest price they are willing to pay. I feel this is becoming more of a problem these days, particularly in some industries (*cough*cell phones*cough*). Someone else pointed out their studio is not lavish and their parking lot is not filled with expensive cars. This does not necessarily disprove my point. Most companies I would consider "greedy" do not treat their employees well either. They try to squeeze out the most work while offering minimum pay. Most of the money tends to go to the corporation, share holders, or executives. It tends to be the customers and majority of the employees that get the shaft. A good example of what I'm trying to describe is Apple. They pay Chinese workers pennies to build an iProduct that they sell for hundreds to thousands of dollars. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying FarSight is a greedy company. I just feel that recent changes have given me some cause for concern. I did not know they only sold packs to console gamers as the only console version I've played is PHOF Williams Collection on Wii (which has no DLC). I still don't see any advantage to the customer by forcing them to buy them in packs. Someone mentioned tournament play but I don't know anything about that. I just know that I want to buy and play individual tables. You also have to realize that while these tables/packs are not exactly expensive, they're not exactly cheap either. The economy is not in great shape and many of us have very small entertainment budgets. These are not real pinball machines, they are video games (albeit good ones). If you want to compare prices, I can get the paid versions of all the angry birds games for the same price as one TPA table pack. That's how a lot of average people (not pinball enthusiasts) are going to think when they look at TPA. Anyway, I'm sorry if I come off too negative. I really don't wish to be. I really like TPA and FarSight, there are just some little issues with them and I admit, I'm a picky person. And to get back to the original issue, I would prefer 1 polished table over 2 mediocre tables. [/QUOTE]
