[QUOTE="Roo, post: 138946, member: 3068"] The whole "separate app" thing annoys me. Maybe it works from a marketing perspective on mobile (the way Zen has done it for Star Wars and Marvel), but in this case it seems like a workaround for ESRB ratings issues. Plus it seems to cause no end of headaches and confusion regarding which app has what, do tables transfer between, etc. The last thing I want is to have to switch between programs on my PC/pincab in order to see all the tables. Hopefully they do make them "importable" to the main version. The Silver Orb thing is interesting; I would certainly pay a premium price for premium tables. A lot cheaper than buying a real one (or even playing a real one on location regularly). But I don't think there would be enough people that would. Isn't that why they did the Kickstarters in the first place? Because otherwise they'd have to charge like $20 each for those tables. Some people like us would be in, but the general backlash among players who aren't educated (or don't care about) the licensing costs would be huge. Can you imagine what would happen on Facebook if they posted something like, "Coming soon: The Addams Family ($24.99)"? [/QUOTE]
