    Should I give up playing pinball games, particularly TPA ?

    New table price season 3

    Keep in mind that Direct X 11 *is* coming and it will cost ZERO Euros for that update, just like it costs zero for all the other updates to tables. Future tournaments on steam, if they follow all of the other platforms, will also cost ZERO. They've announced future tournaments right in the...

    New table price season 3

    The internet has a very long memory. Just like how you shouldn't post drunk pictures of yourself on facebook, businesses (and everyone else) should be very careful of what they post on the internet. You should consider anything ever posted on the net as if it was carved into a stone tablet...

    New table price season 3

    I'm ok with the new plans of 10 games per season and one game per release pack. I'll take what I can get. I already have 40+ tables that I can play, so it's not like I'm going to have nothing to play. It's not like I won't want to play previous season tables and only play new ones. They...

    Single table releases - are they going to be the new normal?

    Understood and accepted. However, the comments about Terminator 2 are not the only posts in the forums discussing licensing. I was talking in generic terms, and as such my comment is still quite accurate. It's rare that companies disclose the details of their licensing agreements in...

    Question about the Pro versions. It's not completely clear to me

    Bingo! In an arcade environment, you get whatever settings the owner/operator chose to use. You don't get to play with the settings. To do so, you would have to purchase the machine. The small charge for access to the settings in this simulation is sure cheaper than buying a physical machine...

    Single table releases - are they going to be the new normal?

    Unless FarSight and the various license holders make official announcements detailing the particulars of their licensing agreements, speculation will remain speculation. It's not very often that details of such things are given much public airing.

    iOS Version 2.10.0 Discussion and Feedback

    Is anyone besides me still having trouble with the on-screen mappnig of the option buttons? Trying to change from scrolling view to fixed camera views only changes the camera angle. It's been doing it for quite a while. I even deleted the entire app and re-loaded the whole thing. (iPad - 4th...

    Farsight not charging extra for cabinet version

    "And what happened then? Well, in Whoville they say that the Grinch's small heart grew three sizes that day." //The Grinch would be one heck of a theme for a pinball machine! /// It couldn't be any worse than what Jim Carey did to the character in his movie.

    Request Stop selling two tables at the same time please

    Jeff, thanks for posting that link. I wasn't aware of that site. Bookmarked for future vacation plans. I was only aware of the Pinside site having locations. http://pinside.com/pinball/map/where-to-play/ I'm aware of TWO machine in a 25 mile radius of where I live. One is a classic EM...

    Request Stop selling two tables at the same time please

    How many of the DMD games are "new" games that people might not have encountered "in the wild" yet? Games like Wizard of Oz aren't exactly commonplace. I'll kick in my own anecdotal info. I've never been to any pinball expos. In fact, I have to take a several day out of town vacation just to...

    Request Stop selling two tables at the same time please

    Quite simply because I'm in the United States. So is FarSight Studios. I'm more familiar with US demographics as well as having easier access to such information. Canada has fairly similar demographics. I don't know the breakdown of sales for TPA by continent or country, nor was my use of US...

    Request Stop selling two tables at the same time please

    I don't generally play other video games, so I'm not very familiar with how they are priced. I have purchased a number of pinball games for the PC platform going back many years, and those were darn expensive compared to TPA in both the price paid at the time and certainly when adjusted for...
