[QUOTE="sedated, post: 181650, member: 4842"] Reading this compilation of comments from Farsight was kind of a depressing read, and makes me question what kind of business they are even running being the premiere digital pinball distributor. First off, I'm amazed by some of their complete lack of knowledge of some of the tables they commented on. I mean a company that touts preserving pinball history, how can they not even know what all these tables are? Anyone could literally spend a couple hours on ipdb and learn about every single solid state pinball machine released by Williams, Bally and Gottlieb since 1980. It's not like these companies were cranking out pinball machines every week. Second. Why are they such negative buzzkills about so many tables? Don't they have a long term business model? Their goal should be to release every single solid state pinball plus a bunch of classic EMs, why wouldn't it be? You'd expect more optimistic and hopeful replies. Why are they shooting down tables that don't even have difficult licensing behind them? Third. It seems a lot of the reasons they said they wouldn't release some of these tables is because not many people requested them? I didn't know their choices were based on tyranny of the majority and wait for people to hound them to release something before they consider doing something. I don't know, maybe one day we'll get some cross platform pinball simulator in the way of Visual Pinball where we'll have our own freedom, and developers who actually care. [/QUOTE]
