[QUOTE="msilcommand, post: 286300, member: 7642"] I see you saying that type of thing a lot to people in this forum, condescending, assuming some pseudo position of rank. I think it's a cheap copout...but carry on. Building the code for first few tables is definitely arduous, but once you have the stem of the builds, code-wise, you can reuse a lot. ZEN put in that legwork already. The bulk of their work for originals at this point is likely design and assets and adaptation for platform support. That plus licensing, likely being the bulk of their development cost. Again, the question is: will developing licensed emulated pins be costlier than building originals, considering development + licensing. If so, will emulation cause some magical revenue boost over the long term to make up for that higher cost. My position is that the bulk of gamers being 10-30 makes the answer a huge NO. However, if ZEN keeps developing originals alongside the emulations, keeping new content for the younger, less serious players and newbs, they should be fine. [/QUOTE]
