I'd hope if there was another kickstarter (that's not TAF) that Farsight holds a poll of a few selections to gauge interest before starting up... would help to know where people's hearts and minds are.
I've been saying Kickstarter is a fad that's going to wear off quick for a while. I hate to say that because I really want Pinball Arcade kickstarters to succeed. But yeah, when it first came out or whatever it was crazy, you could kickstart anything. I mean just look at the Ouya lol sorry Ouya fans. Just saying. There was also something called "girls vs. tropes in gaming" that got kickstarted, as well as a millionaire who raised money to send his girl to RPG camp or something. Both on Gaf I remember. Doubt those would be successful if done today.
Also I'm happy to say that noone uses the word "trope" anymore. And thank god.
I take it you don't know of TT, the biggest time sink in the entire internet.
I just googled a couple of terminator fanpages / communities. We have to contact all them.
Also if you know a rich dude, maybe a celebrity who likes pinball, contact him / her.
www.tvtropes.org for the brave
This is a table that isn't very good according to a lot of people
If you've never been before it's guaranteed to take up the rest of your free time for today.
So don't go.
If they need money that badly, can't FarSight Studios sell off some of their pinball machines? They seem to keep a collection of all the machines that they have digitized, which must be worth a fortune. Their Medieval Madness + Attack from Mars alone could be worth maybe $15,000. Sure, they may have to take another look at one of their older tables every once in a while for bug fixes etc., but there should be other ways...
I applaud you good sir.

I'm one of the most partisan defenders of the faith here, but I do not understand: Why would T2 not succeeding automatically imply that no future kickstarters would succeed either?
All T2 failing would logically imply is that people were not sufficiently interested in T2, or that many people are disgruntled over the 360/PC/fulfillment situations, which are/were temporary. Neither scenario leads to the conclusion that all future kickstarters must go down in flames. So why all the doom and gloom?

Not to the extent some people seem to believe. Would it have a negative impact? Sure. But they've also had two kickstarters that succeeded.You don't think a failed T2 kickstarter would influence Farsight's decision on when to do another one and what table to do it for?

I just think this particular kickstarter is laboring under the weight of bad (although perhaps unavoidable) timing with the 360/PC crowd still waiting for satisfaction, past kickstarter mismanagement, a table that is not in the same league as TZ and ST:TNG, and a license that doesn't inspire irrational behavior in people (you have Trekkies and to a lesser extent TZ fanatics; I've never heard of rabid Terminator fans).
