Well said, SYT. There’s no denying the impact Farsight has had on the popularity of digital pinball, and pinball in general. You can be absolutely sure that the barcades, pinball shows, tournament scenes, etc. would see smaller crowds if not for Farsight, not to mention the positive effect they’ve had on the sales of real pinball machines.
I think it's fair to say that Zen would not have this license if Farsight hadn't had it to begin with.
Farsight's problem was they got stuck with a business model that they couldn't or wouldn't back out of, and quality slipped at the expense of getting a release out every month. (I think there is also a certain mentality when it comes to relocating the studio to attract more/better talent to expand the team to help them. I think things might've been different if they'd relocated to LA or anywhere not at the top of a mountain.)
