Am I correctly understanding that this is only ten tables instead of twenty for the same price? Are the tables twice as expensive now?

It's not clear yet, that every table pack will be just one table, but Fish tales costs 5 bucks just like the 2 table packs...

C'mon guys. You can't just double the price.

That is quite the price hike then, especially when buying for other platforms as well.

I just reached the score limit on Whirlwind. This is the free table of the month. Why is there a score limit then?

Version 1.21.3 is up with a fix for Whirlwind.
Season 3 will be 10 tables. We don't have the bandwidth to do 2 new tables each month. In the past we've done 1 new and 1 old. The old table was less work.

I like old tables. I hope this means we don't have to wait an entire "season" before we can see some old classics.

That would make sense. Although I could see the old EM games being a bit easier to design. On a side note, Firepower seems to be a bit easier now. Otherwise, I just had a transcendental moment and nearly breached the top 10 all-time leaderboard in my 6th game ever.

The price is not quite doubled. In fact it's the same price as the discounted season 1.
The community had a strong voice in favor of this move. Not sure if it was the majority but certainly a strong voice and those who championed for this are getting what they want. In reality the situation is pay up or gtfo. Personally, I wasn't for the move but it is what it is. And quite frankly, Fish Tales seems to play really nicely so maybe it was a move in the right direction, only time will tell.
When you download tpa totan is a free table that you own. That won't be revoked if you downloaded it while it was in effect.

Fish Tales is awesome. I'd rather the development team slow down and get things right. There are tons of areas to investigate and hopefully improve with content that already exists. If dropping to a single table release offers a better use of time to fine tune and polish the game, I'm all for it. It still seems as if I am getting a heck of a bargain, and I almost feel guilty about getting the joy that I do after spending relatively so little money on this product. (I have all tables at pro level, where available, on multiple platforms)
only 10 tables hmmm
but for double price i expect some "licensed" tables
like
lord of the rings (may be expensive too, many actors....)
addams family (may be the cheapest one from my list...)
wwf royal rumble (vince mcmahon is known for "make some money" , but some wrestlers from the table are already dead which may reduce license fees a bit...)
super mario bros. (nintendo may say no until there will be a version for there systems)
indiana jones (same money as t2 i guess...)
star wars episode 1 ( fx2 seems to have some deal with george lucas / disney + Williams Pinball 2000 may be hard to emulate for mobiles)
and one of the new stern pinballs (may be stern don't want there new tables emulated at this time)
may be time for a new kickstart round to get at least one or two of the tables
btw: i like these old em tables (less work... yep and i guess cheaper in terms of license fees)
