[QUOTE="Rayder, post: 276257, member: 4226"] Something I've been thinking about...... OK....let's take the PS4 version of TPA as the example. All those Williams/Bally tables are embedded into the main TPA file, but were always locked behind a paywall, whether it be an individual sale or the season passes to access them, right? Anyone who bought them prior to the license expiry (as I have) will always keep them, so they must stay a part of the main TPA file, but Farsight isn't allowed to "sell" them anymore. OK then, would Farsight get in trouble (or better yet, how much trouble would they get in) if they just let everyone have them for free now? You know, maybe like an unadvertised bonus, or maybe an "oopsie" update that "accidentally" allowed anyone with TPA installed to suddenly have access to ALL the Williams/Bally tables that Farsight isn't allowed to "sell" anymore. Would that actually breach the expired contract? They wouldn't be selling them, just allowing access to Farsight's hard work that has to be part of the main TPA file anyway. [/QUOTE]
