Some "premium" tables may not need an expensive license, though: Judge Dredd, for instance, needs a license for the theme, but I don't think it has any "name" voiceovers if I recall. It's probably the top IPDB "premium" pinball where you wouldn't need that expensive of a license (due to no voice over or music).The reason why Kickstarters and stuff are needed is, of course, these licensed tables are not being made anymore and the licenses need to be re-negotiated. If the Sterns (or other new pinball manufacturer) get new licenses with a digital option in mind ala Farsight, and an emulation of the new pinball systems could be sufficiently scaled down to mobile (actually even if you just scale it down to iPad scale, I think you'd be okay)... it could end up being a win win situation. You wouldn't need a Kickstarter for that. The hardware could sink the majority of the cost of the licenses (playing the role the Kickstarter does for older pins), where the digital version adds a little icing on the cake by drastically increasing exposure (nobody thinks a digital pin is a substitute for the real thing).</blockquote>
