Some of my friends have the app, but only play the free tables. They say the whole app should be $5 tops for every pin. I try explaining the licensing and then they tune me out and change the subject. I'm not even going to tell the the modern Stern pins will be $10 each.

Jared is the one who's fine at $15. I feel that is too high, and would be too high for SPA too. $10 is right at the edge for me, but what I'm hoping is that we are getting a more finely polished looking and playing experience. If that price means not having to see kickstarters, all the better too.
I am a bit weird with my rationale when it comes to Pro Pinball and the product FarSight makes. There's something to me about adapting a real thing and that having added value. It makes zero sense, but it's how my brain works. With SAP, the fact you can download this table and then put your hands on a real one if you come across it, that holds more value to me. It even played out that way with Zen tables, where if I wasn't getting it for 75% off, I wasn't buying. Yet even at full price, they were still cheaper than any TPA table.

The way I see it, $10 is five games on an IRL table if I can find one.
Remember when you had to pay $100 for a top tier game (Australian pricing).
I can get 10 faithful Stern recreations for that money.
It's great to be alive!

It kinda boggles the mind that the original run of 4 (or 5) games in the Pro Pinball series were sold as full price video games for 1 table.
Also, I certainly agree with the rationale that the Farsight tables are better value since you get the added benefit of learning some real world skills which can then be applied to a physical object. I actually didn't own TPA at all until I began going to the local league. The first table I played both in the real world and TPA was BoP. Unfortunately despite having a multi billion high score for it on TPA, I'm yet join the billionaires club for real.
I wonder if the value proposition will work out if the company making the physical Timeshock table ever completes it
