[QUOTE="The loafer, post: 296708, member: 1434"] OP: You likely aren't going to like my response. Although it's an awesome thing to see companies provide crossbuy support across generations, they don't have to. Yet to their credit, Zen has done that, they've allows us not to have to rebuy all the tables. Sadly, there are tables that Zen do that have specific licensing limitations that do NOT include crossbuy support . You can feel that maybe Zen should have taken that into consideration when signing the contract but you have to give equal responsibility to the rights older AND the platform owner too. IE: South park, MsExplosion man, ninja gaiden, plants vs zombies, their IP owners and the relationship between them, Zen and Microsoft all make the situation more complex than you think. Think of it this way, why would Zen decide to not support these tables but all others are ok? They didn't get up one morning and say "we gonna screw around with our South park pinball fans today". It does suck for sure, not making light of it but... you are throwing all the blame on one party when it's much more complex than that. This particular situation comes with digital purchases. In their defense, I think you can still play those games on the original console you purchased them on (x360? XBO?) [/QUOTE]
