But you are not working for free. Free implies that no money is being exchanged. On the contrary, you are actually paying a considerable sum of money for the privileged of doing someone else's "work".Maybe 20 years ago, when I was a kid, I thought it is "cool" to be the first to play a game. Beta testing is work. I have enough of work and I usually don't work for free.
If I have to pay you money to be your friend, then we are not friends.
I could understand that some fans may not care, but why would anyone want it to fail?
They will be disappointed; it will probably cross the finish line tomorrow.
Besides the usual coterie of invaders who hate FarSight and everything they do, there was some speculation a while back that a failed kickstarter would somehow "teach FarSight a lesson" and cause them to re-focus on improving the quality of the existing tables. How exactly this was supposed to work logistically and financially was never adequately explained by its proponents.
Arnold Schwarzenegger dies in a freak accident and in 2029 he is reincarnated as an android. He travels back in time to 2013 and destroys all pinball machines that bear his likeness so that Farsight cannot digitize the pinball, despite they succeeded to raise the necessary licensing funds. Farsight haters rejoice while pinball fans everywhere mourn the loss. The funding is put towards licensing The Adams Family instead and everyone is happy.
How long before anyone else do beta testers get to see the new tables? I read previous Android beta testers saw it less than 24 hours before the release.
