[QUOTE="msilcommand, post: 286275, member: 7642"] I see it as a red flag when a company is saying we're gonna be pumping out tables every X amount of months, yet they haven't even completely sussed out the base core physics for emulated table play. Add to that the fact that the bread and butter that kept them thriving so long were their original tables (licensed or zen), which they seem to have sidelined in favor of the rabbit hole of licensed emulation. Also add in the fact that they are stretching themselves thin with trying to support mobile, which I doubt is very lucrative, and VR, which may be lucrative in 5-10 more years somehow? I'm just not seeing how this ISN'T a recipe for financial decline. It's not like making licensed emulated tables is going to magically dramatically boost their revenue. So, it comes down to whether or not making licensed emulated tables costs them significantly more than what it was costing them to make licensed originals and ZEN originals, because I seriously doubt they will be making much more money off the Williams and Stern tables than they were off of their original stuff.
