[QUOTE="vfpcoder, post: 257122, member: 828"] This is a H-O-B-B-Y ... By that very definition, you are not "wasting" $300 (or whatever): You are currently *enjoying* your hobby. Having said that, I own iOS apps dating back to 2008 that still work even though they are no longer supported (I get the "This app may slow down your iPad Pro" message on the ones no longer supported; but they do still work.) I also own most of the tables on Steam on the PC. I have some apps on that platform that go back two decades(!) that are still working. Not worried about it. As already pointed out on this thread, there will be much better pinball sims available in the future. Probably in five years both iPhones and iPads will be replaced by a "Pen" you keep in your shirt pocket which provides projected 3D holographic virtual desktops on demand. Will you want to play current iOS games on that platform? (BTW, they'll probably still play in "2D compatibility mode" :) ) [/QUOTE]
