[QUOTE="The loafer, post: 295954, member: 1434"] SYT: People overreact but where there is smoke, there is fire. There are two areas that have spread doubt with Zen and those areas can't be pushed under the carpet for those that feel they are bad "signs". 1 - the lack of tables and communication 2 - that Freemium model you spoke of FYI Freemium exists for other games on PC/consoles, just take a look at steam so we can't just state "mobile" when mentioning this model. The onus is on Zen to do better on the communication here. I get that the best bang for the buck is as a company, you never release all your info in one shot. You want people to talk about it for a long time, build momentum. I get that. But not too sure their "pinball show" is the way to move forward at this stage, might have been better as a sustainment of momentum so that the picture is already clear and the momentum is sustained between releases. So although their is communication via their "Pinball Show", it is not the communication needed right now. Anyway personally I'm a bit more indifferent towards Pinball FX (4) because of the lack of information and rarity of the releases. If they ever decide to go to a subscription model, they would lose me. I agree I doubt that's where they go so I don't fear it. However, freemium is absolutely a possibility and that does scare me. If they found the mobile version brought more money as freemium than the previous purchase versions, then they would be fools to not consider it. if they ever go that route, they will have lost me like they have on ios. It's just not my thing. This hobby used to always be tagged with gamblers and seedy bars, so drugs, etc. I can see why, all we will need is some info (a fix) and we will all be right back in. so if the future is rosy as you say, all will be good ;) [/QUOTE]
