[QUOTE="Gorgias32, post: 271890, member: 5914"] The only thing that makes me think it might be a competitive product is how they shut down future sales so abruptly. Just moving the IP into casino games doesn't mean they would want to stop Farsight from selling the existing tables they have already created, in fact TPA would drive interest in casino versions. It seems like if that were not the case, they would just say, "we're not going to let you make any new tables, but you can continue to sell what you have already made, in perpetuity". But as others have suggested, it does seem like a distinct possibility that a bean counter looked at the fact that it was costing them $x in lawyer fees every two years to review and update the Farsight contract, and the revenue from Farsight is $y, and there are other projects they could have that lawyer work on that are >$y, so they just said "don't renew or spend any time on this". Really unfortunate. [/QUOTE]
