[QUOTE="Citizen, post: 266498, member: 6915"] It's hard to say. Someone mentioned recently that FarSight has said that S1 is still the best selling season to this day. That means they have at least some steady revenue coming in from TPA, but perhaps no real incentive to keep making new seasons when they can keep making money off of what they already have. In regards to SPA, do we know how well those tables have actually been selling? Do we know if they're actually turning a good profit on it? Because keep in mind that, unlike many of the unlicensed Williams, Bally/Midway, WMS, Alvin G., Stern Electronics, Gottlieb and Premier Gottlieb tables that aren't in TPA yet, most of the Stern Pinball, Data East and Sega tables that aren't in SPA have licenses attached to them. I doubt Stern will keep funding these tables if SPA isn't turning a pretty substantial profit, and so far the reception to SPA hasn't been great. Though, given the recent Switch release, I have to assume it's doing well enough for now. I don't really think duration of time is that much of an issue, just profit. I do agree with Blkthorne that there are plenty of good unlicensed tables left. Forgive me dumping a list in the middle of the thread: Joker Poker Centaur II Embryon Devil's Dare Mousin' Around! Bad Cats Space Station Radical! Fireball II Mata Hari Jungle Lord Time Warp Future Spa Operation: Thunder Barracora Time Line Comet Skateball Alien Poker Blackout Sinbad Meteor Jokerz! Flash Police Force Road Kings Strikes and Spares Nitro Ground Shaker The Pinball Circus Road Show Quicksilver Medusa Frontier Seawitch Spirit Star Gazer Catacomb Stingray Grand Lizard Viking Stars Taken from the Database top 150 and Pinside top 150. Unlicensed tables only. SS tables only. Only companies that are already represented in TPA. No Stern Pinball, Data East, or Sega tables listed. Didn't list Revenge from Mars since it's Pinball 2000. Didn't list Banzai Run because it might still be in S7. Are those the cream of the crop? Mostly not, no. But I'm guessing most people around here have a few favorites on that list, and would be happy to have (most) of the rest in TPA. The question is, would those draw enough sales to be worth it?
