[QUOTE="brakel, post: 133499, member: 416"] I think Stern would be in favor of it. Stern has said that no one is buying a video game INSTEAD of a real machine if they have the means and desire to own the real thing. But he thinks that a video game would be a great way for people to try out the machine. FarSight isn't likely to do it soon for two reasons. First the cost of making an emulation for the tables and second limited audience for game. The emulation isn't going to run on mobiles, which is their biggest audience, and it might not run on the PS3. They're not going to invest a bunch of resources into making the emulation work if they can only sell it on the PS4 and PC. I've glossed over the license fees because if Stern and FarSight were to partner on these, Stern could easily throw in the video pinball rights into their license negotiation for a fraction of the price that a standalone license would cost FarSight.
