I think there may be more here than meets the eye....
No conspiracy freaks please!
We know FS has always kept an eye on the community so they are surely aware of out musings on the table pack. We also know they are fairly good at not giving out info about future packs and so their current lack of response is to be expected and I suspect nothing can be learned from that decision. We also know that last month, the table pack was essentially "let out of the bag early" by the Steam info (I think it was, I know the icons were pictured somewhere early). We can suppose they were also aware of that and may have taken preventive measures going forward. We also know that FS does indeed have limited resources and although my guesses at earning power is decent, it's a dog eat dog market as Crave so sadly pointed out. There are clearly forces at work beyond their control, Steam, Sony, and Xbox360 come to mind (not to dance on open wounds, I truly believe FS was on their game and got hosed in all 3 cases).
So, what does all this really add up to? We don't know, we probably won't know until it hits, and "reading too much into it" may prove dangerous and create an unnecessary scare. Speculation is fine, and in fact healthy, so far, so good, but let's not get too carried away yet.
I have seen several posts over time saying "I hope they take some time to go back and fix up some of the older problems, I'd 'let them' take a month off if they fix 'everything'". Given the speed they do push stuff forward when it's green lighted by the head honchos, I have fairly high hopes for what they have up their sleeve.
This poster does smell like fish tales, and it clearly shows only 1 place holder for a table on the website, BUT FS is smart, their somewhat coming out of the corner swinging, I don't think they'd just give us a ho-hum single table pack (just my 2 cents, Fish Tales is a cool table no doubt, you can't hate it and they basically confirmed on facebook it's in the works) especially after so much Gottlieb hate and not use the "free time" to hammer out some of the nitty gritty we've been after for a while now, plus getting PS4 up and running, plus probably working on the new PC engine, plus their shiny new cabinet, plus...plus...
So....
that's my book on the subject, I'm just going to chill and wait to see what happens because I know I've been pleasantly surprised in the past. IF there are financial issues, I'd rather they pull back the reigns a bit and trust that they'll keep putting out tables and updates over time vs. abandoning "us" to a lifetime of want and Zen.

I think it's more complex than that:
First of all, to understand what happened to Killer, you gotta understand who Killer the dog WAS. Now Killer was born to a three-legged ***** mother. And he was always ashamed of this, man. And then right after that, he's adopted by this man, Tito Liebowitz. He's a small-time gunrunner and, uh, rottweiler fight promoter. So he puts Killer into training, next thing you know Killer's GOOD! He is DAMN good! But then, he had the fight of his life. They pit him against his brother Nibbles. And Killer said, "No, man, that's my brother, I can't fight Nibbles!" And he made him fight anyway. And then Killer, Killed Nibbles. And Killer said, "That's it!" And he called off all his fights, and he started doing crack, and he ffffffff-FREAKED OUT. And then in a rage, he collapsed, and his heart... no longer beat. Wow.
