[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 247462, member: 134"] Look, The Pinball Arcade is a different program from Pinball Hall of Fame. It has a different engine, it has a different business model, it is a front end that continually gets DLC added. It is not Madden or NBA 2K with different versions popping up each year with new roster stats. I say it over and over, but TPA is more like Rock Band than any other program. You know what Rock Band did when it came back for next gen consoles? All previously bought DLC transferred over despite now having new game functionality added in. Why? Because after surveying their customer base before release, Harmonix discovered that people were more likely to hold onto last gen version than upgrade if it meant repurchasing their massive music library. That was problematic to Harmonix if they wanted Rock Band 4 to have a chance at success. So music transferred, new instruments were not required, and their customer base which had become niche was very happy. That leads to new sales of new music DLC, plus sales of new plastic instruments since many had been tossed years prior. [/QUOTE]
