[QUOTE="lio, post: 271888, member: 3222"] First and foremost I wish there was a way Farsight could retain the license and keep on making WMS/Bally recreations. Assuming this is out of question I hope someone else will be able to acquire the license and continue where Farsight was forced out (so I hope for option 1 but fear option 2 is far more likely). True, there is currently a "king of the game" but since that "king" is effectively losing most of the valuable tables in the collection that position will be vacant at least for any new players and consoles that come late to the game . Also there are still plenty of good WMS/Bally games out there that could be digitized before existing TPA recreations would have to be recreated once again. And even though I supported each and every of the kickstarters and have every season in "pro" flavor I'd gladly buy tables again if the ball physics were better, if the graphics were more polished (season 1 & season 2 tables I am looking at you), if there was VR support, etc. It's not like there was/is no room for improvement left that could justify buying the same tables again (even people on this very forum have offered to re-purchase properly updated versions of season 1 & 2...). It might not be easy for someone else to take the crown but over time I think it would at least be possible. [/QUOTE]
