[QUOTE="CC13, post: 120891, member: 1151"] Are you being entirely fair here? After all, Seawitch took 9th place in the Stern/Data East/Sega poll, while Catacomb managed a respectable 14th place. Even if you want to restrict the conversation to DMDs, though, High Roller Casino took 5th place, despite not having any licenses, while Sharkey's Shootout, which only has very light licensing, managed a surprising 8th place. We wouldn't be able to subsist entirely on Sega-East-Stern tables, but they can supplement the WMS decks quite nicely, IMO. As for my own thoughts on the matter, this isn't the first time I've criticized FarSight's lack of communication with its customers, but this is certainly one of the biggest slip-ups in that regard. Previous statements had led us to believe that 2 tables per pack would be the standard going forward, so if that wasn't the case, we definitely should have gotten at least a few weeks notice of that fact; couple this with the recent lack of communication concerning the WMS negotiations and I would fully understand if somebody on the outside looking in decided they didn't trust FarSight very much. Even if 1 table pack is indeed the new normal, though, not all the news is bad; nobody seems to have noticed that FarSight's announcement came out a week earlier than we would normally expect. If a turnaround of 3 weeks per table is part of the new normal, then I think I could adjust, particularly if the Pro Pack season pass isn't more than about $45 or so. [/QUOTE]
