[QUOTE="KathyP, post: 283618, member: 7378"] Just to give my tuppence worth on the whole TPA situation... After playing pinball a lot as a kid and YA (back when there were proper tables in most pubs) I've always dabbled in the digital versions. Far from a hardcore player, but I love picking up and playing for an hour here and there. I had TPA with season 1 on my PS4 for ages and loved it, then by luck I happened to browse and join here or somewhere about a week before the Williams license loss. In a way it was a good thing for me as I had nearly bought other seasons on a number of occasions but always backed up due to cost/value/time to play balance. Now this kind of took the choice away from me! I was going to buy season 2 and then a few other tables here and there but I just know my OCD would kick in over the years about tables I didn't have so I took the plunge and bought the lot literally one day before they were nuked. It was of course an expensive thing as well as a good thing as they were all at full price and it was six seasons I had to buy. Bit more painful as I'd had opportunities to buy at least some of these at half price over the years too arrghhh! Since then, I haven't played it loads but I've never really regretted it - the Williams tables are awesome and I love the package as a whole. If anything there are tooooo many tables, not so much because of differing quality and enjoyment but simply too many to get good playtime on all of them without it being a full time job. Still, better that than hand wringing over a few missing tables that I might have chosen not to buy. I generally just play through the challenges as a structured way of getting play time on all the tables and it's also quite fun. As for pinball fx3, there is about zero chance of me converting over to it - I find the graphics adequate on TPA to be honest and that's on a 55" 4K screen, and with my now large library of tables I've got no desire to repurchase a few at a time over the years to try and get close to this collection. I'm not buying further tables from TPA - the stern tables don't really interest me, and I don't get the whole confusing purchase system where it looks like I'd be paying for tables I already own twice. It's a shame that Farsight lost the license like that but to sum up, I'm pretty happy with the TPA 'package' that I now have on my PS4 and so long as I don't lose access to these I'll be cool going forward.
