[QUOTE="Rudy, post: 96092, member: 1233"] It'd be pointless, part of the reason that so many people have a personal connection to such tables is the theme, and stripping the themes out of tables will remove that connection. Just look at The Shadow and Pinball FX's Tesla: they're basically the same table but the theme sucks the life out of the table. Addams Family may look like it could be easily rethemed, but considering that the sound effects, dmd videos and playfield would have to be significatly changed it'd end up being more complicated than just working on a different table. Add that all of those modifications would require graphics design artists to design things for the first time (hint: recreating a table is a lot easier than creating a table) and would create a lot more problems than it'd solve. Would Farsight need to hire more developers, or would they just get the current team to do another project (possibly compromising the time spent on other tables)? Would they spend a lot of time on creating a theme or would it just be an afterthought? Would the finished result produce as much profit as say, reproducing an old Gottlieb table? etc. [/QUOTE]
