[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 171164, member: 134"] I think the point is, operators did not wanna give up TAF as one of their tables because it was a cash cow. So if they only had 3 tables on location, the rotation just dropped by a 3rd. That is that many fewer locations for distributors to put machines in, so they in turn drop their order number. It's a snowball effect, in theory, but I agree that there were a lot of other factors at play here. I do blame Addams for the proliferation of licensed tables that followed, and I honestly think that did more harm than good. Tables instantly had a freshness date stamped on them, especially if for a current movie. Some movies have staying power (T2, TAF) while others expired almost immediately (Flinstones, Johnny Mnemonic). I'm not criticizing the quality of the game, but the desire to play due to the license it is based on. [/QUOTE]
