[QUOTE="zmcvay, post: 284405, member: 4746"] And that, right there, is why I'm concerned. Doing these three packs like this means they will run out sooner rather than later at which point their options are: 1. Release mostly or all non-DMD tables with presumably much lower sales than the all or some DMD packs would get or 2. Stop releasing anything once the low hanging fruit is gone and go on to something else. Either way, at least Farsight showed more willingness to release tables from before the 90's. The way they are going now, I'm not sure I see Zen releasing non-DMD only packs. I'm still happy about what we're getting, but I'll admit, I played pack 1 a lot. Pack 2, not so much, even though AFM is one of my favorites. I don't see these tables holding much sustained interest for me either. I've heard the speculation for the future, but until it's announced I can't get very excited for it. Maybe Zen will do lower sales packs of older tables. Maybe they'll latch onto the Stern licence. Maybe they'll do a 1 licenced + 2 originals pack. I keep going back to it sounding like Maybe this is the year Farsight will do that Lord of the Rings or Simpsons kickstarter. If they announce it, I'll be excited. Can't get excited about maybe. I'm along for the ride, but I can't lie and say I'm particularly thrilled about the current pack. That's all. And I can see that Safe Cracker could easily be a favorite of someone. But I still maintain it doesn't translate to digital anywhere near as well as a lot of other tables would. Edit: Okay, that sounded a bit more frustrated than I intended. But long story short, given how enthusiastic Zen seemed about the pack 1 reception, I was hoping they would mix it up a bit more by pack 3 with a non-DMD table or 1 low level licence. Obviously not. Still eager to see how their take on Theater of Magic works out, and maybe I'll find out I'm over the PTSD from getting that 26th token in TPA and can give Safe Cracker a clear shot. [/QUOTE]
