It just occurred to me that FarSight have followed an odd pattern where licensed tables are concerned. After having 1 licensed table (RBION) in their first 8 offerings, FarSight have had one licensed table per DLC Pack since DLC Pack #3, in addition to Twilight Zone. Personally, I would have loaded up on the license-free tables first, then use the receipts from those tables to go after big-shot licenses such as LotR, The Simpsons or The Twilight Zone. What made FarSight opt for a different approach?
It's because the Elvira and the Universal Monsters licenses were package deals. Monster Bash and Creature are both covered under the universal license more or less, and Elvira was a smart buy since both her tables are awesome and again, part of a package. Smart moves by Farsight. It might happen again with T2, we might get T3 as well. Could happen with Simpsons also.
Going forward though unlicensed tables are set to outnumber licensed ones in a big way, the way things have been has been a bit of a lucky fluke you could say. Dr. Dude, Attack from Mars, Pinbot, Whirlwind, Genie, Centaur, Firepower, Victory, Space Shuttle, Cactus Canyon. That's 10 confirmed unlicensed, whereas only TNG and TZ are coming license wise. And T2 and Simpsons may only be single table as well. So 10 to 4(6), and that's just what we know so far.
