Message: <blockquote data-quote="bavelb" data-source="post: 23659" data-attributes="member: 358">To those who demand a base product that is polished before they ask for "handouts" I have 3 remarks:1) most companies work with investors to fund their projects, then sell their product so they can pay them back through profits. They dont save up their previous profits (if any, we are talking digital pinball for the last 10 years here) to invest in future ones. In this case very few investors are likely willing to invest in virtual pinball, so they come to the customers to ask for investing. In return you get a service, upgrade or perk (or its just a kind of preorder).2)They obviously are working on a tight budget here. The best way to ensure the base game is as polished as it is, is by making sure they get tables that will *sell* like sttng.3)They have had outstanding agreements on the licenses with CBS (rightsholders to TZ and STTNG) for a while, those deals have an expiration date after which those deals might be more expensive, especially if someting like TZ sells like hotcakes. So they probably wanted to act on it now.I can understand your sentiments, and its your choice to invest or not, but the best way to fix the currently flawed product is it receives constant income, preferably from high profile tables.</blockquote>
