[QUOTE="Gorgias32, post: 271468, member: 5914"] I hate to say it, but I'm feeling pessimistic about this whole thing. I own most of the seasons except most of season 2 and half of season 4, I'm intending on picking up a couple more key tables (Earthshaker, Jackbot, White Water) but at this point to get all of the remaining Bally/Williams it would cost me $70 and that's just not going to happen by the end of June. My main concern is, I don't see how the TPA franchise can continue financially without the tables that are being removed. They simply won't attract new customers with a bunch of Gottliebs. The only chance is if they can really make hay with classic and modern Sterns, but while these are great tables, it's the classic Bally/Williams ones that are the bread and butter. I have a suspicion that they are going to pivot the company to other (potentially non-pinball) games, and at some point the mobile versions of TPA will stop working (OS upgrade breaking changes, etc.) and we'll be left with nothing. My other hope is that eventually the Bally/Williams license holders are going to come to an agreement with farsight, or transfer the licenses to another software company that may pick up where TPA has left off.
