[QUOTE="Dinosaur Toy, post: 28193, member: 1216"] It's very interesting to act snobbish over video pinball simulations, but at the end of the day, I'm a customer and Farsight wants money. As a business, they show every sign of having over-extended themselves in order to try and release Pinball Arcade on every platform known to man at the exact same time. I'm well aware of the nature of The Pinball Arcade and the emulation being employed for some aspects (not all can be / are emulated, some tables fall back on simpler scripting). None of that changes the fact that every time Farsight updates their product, they break it in bizarre and unexpected ways. Fix a non-working rollover on one table, and the framerate on a table that received no overt adjustments tanks. Adjust the textures on a 3rd table, and the sound stops working on a 4th table. The problem Farsight faces is more practical than arguing over subjective opinions such as whose pinball board design is more "fun". They need to sell more DLC to fund development. I'm sympathetic towards that, so even with the constantly broken state of the product, I kept buying more DLC. I also contributed to Kickstarter. Every time you buy something from Farsight however, it seems that another update is released that breaks what you previously bought. I think I've given them enough money while not being able to play random tables in the meantime waiting for fixes. I'm not alone; plenty of people are tired of Farsight, and they're very fortunate that enough are still willing to support them blindly so that their kickstarters can succeed. [/QUOTE]
