[QUOTE="SilverBalls, post: 121667, member: 340"] I doubt they are winding things down. They just don't want to put all their pinballs into one basket. They probably did 2 tables per month to get the product established with a solid base of tables, plus the had a lot already partly developed from PHOF. PA is on so many platforms and is well known, and it has taken a lot of work getting there. No company will turn their back on that. Also any new ventures might not be successful unless it is paid work of course from one of the big outfits. I am pretty sure Farsight could employ the VP hobbyists community to do artwork and maybe even table scripting in the future for a fraction of the costs of full time staff, so there is lots that can be done in the future. Once the engine is more mature in theory you probably need 2 or 3 people to build a table a month, and considering the number of platforms you can deliver to, that must make a nice return. There shouldn't be a need to buy physical tables to build them either. I would love the VP community to be utilised to build EM tables that may not sell as well as others but won't cost much to develop. Just a side thought, does anyone know if there any issues for FS not being able to sell tables after current licence agreements expire? [/QUOTE]
