[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 217039, member: 134"] Because quite simply it reflects negatively on the company. Kickstarters by definition are meant to get your feet off the ground. TPA has been around since 2012, not exactly a struggling, fledgling thing. When your largest competitor/peer is getting big licenses without crowd funding, how's that make you look? Marvel, Star Wars, South Park, Family Guy...these are all licenses that are on real pinball machines, and Zen has managed to strike deals and make original tables of them. And yet FarSight would need kickstarters for every one of them? Take the money you'd want to spend on a kickstarter, and buy the Pro Tables, buy for multiple platforms, buy ball packs. Hopefully FarSight can come up with another way of dealing with heavy IP costs internally or through corporate partners. There's only so many times you can dip into the kickstarter well. [/QUOTE]
