[QUOTE="Gorgias32, post: 280964, member: 5914"] Ok, some further thoughts on "is this it for Farsight TPA"... Over the weekend I booted up TPA and was playing Sorcerer, and was just blown away once again at how great the TPA version is. Great lighting, great rules, great implementation. There are so many really great tables in TPA that I still love to play the heck out of. But I keep holding back for some reason in purchasing the Big Buck Hunter/Woah Nellie pack. The price at $15 is a lot, but that's not really it, I have spent more than that on TPA packs before. And I have really enjoyed playing the score-limited trial versions of both tables. I think what's holding me back is the uncertainty about the future. I don't want to spend any more money on TPA when it looks to the outsider that Farsight is floundering and has no real plans for their pinball platform - releasing a ridiculous IAP version of SPA on VR does the exact opposite of reassuring me, and there I have not heard about any solid plans for additional pinball content to TPA or SPA at all. At this point, as I see it, it can go one of three ways: 1. Farsight comes up with new content, improves user experience, and gets the motor running on TPA again 2. Farsight switches to other non-pinball properties, TPA continues to work (servers still up) but little or no new pinball content or improvements 3. Farsight goes out of business or changes direction completely, and TPA stops working (ether soon or in the next year or two) with no support If they get things moving on TPA and include Stern content, I will happily continue to buy everything they put out. But if they go the direction of 2 or 3, I'd rather save my money for Zen. The bottom line is, at this point I'm not spending more money on TPA until some news comes out about what is next from Farsight pinball. [/QUOTE]
