If they felt threatened by TPA, then why did Stern:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Enter into a licensing agreement with FarSight, allowing them to reproduce any of their tables, both current and forthcoming, so long as FarSight could independently secure the ancillary licenses needed?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Not impose a time delay on reproducing recent tables? FarSight could theoretically release the AC/DC table right now if they wanted, if technical and licensing issues were not involved.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">From comments elsewhere on this forum, FarSight would like to eventually simultaneously release a digital table when Stern produces a physical one. There are many technical and licensing challenges to overcome before that happens, if it ever does, but Stern would not allow this if it felt TPA would cannibalize the physical table's sales.</li> </ul>If anything, I think having a table reproduced on TPA would make players more likely to search out and play the physical tables. Especially for Jersey Jack and any other new entrants into the pinball business, I would think they'd be thrilled to have that sort of market exposure (and get paid for it through licensing).</blockquote>
