[QUOTE="superballs, post: 57297, member: 341"] I can understand some of the quality control issues. Personally, I'm not so hardcore pinball that I even realize a lot of the issues on tables. Ball going through a wall or stuck camera? Sure I'm going to notice these, but i'm not that good at most of the tables to actually get these so I'm usually one of the last to notice. As for the table pack issue. I can't really say that I care because I've never bought a single table ever. For iOS i bought everything in packs up to Scared Stiff. XBOX, everything in packs because that's just the way it is. Android? Everything in packs except for 5 Tables (newest ones CV/FH because i'm not really compelled to buy them and STTNG although i should be caught up in a couple weeks). Now this isn't to say that i don't kinda feel for you guys who have such opposition to it, however, by buying BS/SS pack, I ended up playing Big Shot almost exclusively even though I was waiting for SS, for example. It really has the potential to be a good thing...and, when you're bored stiff of the featured table, you'll likely find some enjoyment in just having something different to do (how i got to like RBION). Honestly, besides using your wallet, since a lack of sales will only say there is a problem, send an email. I don't mean a mindless, wall-of-text rant people. Fill in the Subject line, make it short, concise and to the point (this is going to be very important). In the body, simply make your point, politely and clearly. If FS has a whole lot of emails in their inbox saying: [TABLENAME] - Art issue - will not purchase until fixed And a body that details the issue. Then they might realize that fixing the issue will fix the problem of no sales. Sure, you can say that you are only one person and you can't be sure that anyone else will do this, but at least if you do, then you've done your part. I know that they read this forum also, threads might created using the same subject and the more replies it gets, the more lost sales seen by Farsight. However, even if we cry bloody murder and the table is selling like hotcakes (how do you let someone know if you're hotcakes are selling well?), then best of luck getting it fixed in a timely manner anyway. I must say though...i was shocked to see the Vita version...that's atrocious, though I would have almost put that between N64 and Dreamcast running on NTSC (DC on VGA would have been sweet looking). I think the thing that really bums me out the most is the statement that older tables will not be getting upgraded physics tweaks and whatnot, that really disappoints me. I know i come across as quite the FS apologist sometimes and really I am, I'm much more patient with FS than I am with pretty well every other company I've ever dealt with, more because I fully support what they are trying to do. Sometimes I don't really agree with how they do it but I've never NOT gotten 5-7$ worth of enjoyment out of a table pack. I've never regretted paying (usually multiple times) for any DLC. I get less enjoyment out of a burger and onion rings at A&W (23$ for two people can you believe that for fast food?) than i do a single table pack from TPA. I'm not trying to throw the "less than a ..." argument out there, I'm just saying that I feel that I'm getting my money's worth when I pick up a package. I would be 100% in favour of the product I've already purchased to be improved, but let's face it, have you ever bought an item and wished it was better at what it did (even though it served it's function) and had it be improved after purchase? I'm talking toasters, blenders, etc, real physical items here, not software. Of course not. The fact that many tables have been improved, even at a slow rate is something we should all be somewhat thankful for. MM has gotten a ton better since release, Black Hole...holy crap has it been improved, I can't wait for the XBOX update for that. As much as I hate to say it. If you don't like what they are giving you, don't buy it.
