[QUOTE="Byte, post: 266571, member: 1509"] The problem with that is the definition of 'profitable'. If that switches to a very short-term perspective, it may not be. If it is a multi-year perspective, it might be very profitable, for current-gen platforms that is. The next thing on PC and consoles will be 4K HDR (some already have it, but I'm talking about the masses). Will it be profitable (and manageable!) to re-do all Season 1-7 table art in 4K and sell them as upgrade packages? The number of SKUs will double and download sizes increase dramatically where a "megapatch" approach applies. PS3 might or might not see a Season 7, I doubt it will see Season 8. Perhaps we can convince Farsight to do one big final bug-fix "Thank You!" release, say a year after the last table releases, so devs have a year to use spare/unscheduled time to track bugs down and fix as many of them as time allows. Will that be profitable? Depends on the number of PS3 players that still play and do not own all seasons and held off because of long-standing bugs and might want to complete their table collection. Perhaps that would be the time to hold a PS3 PSN sale. [/QUOTE]
