[QUOTE="francis247uk, post: 270268, member: 820"] A lot of questions: I'd really like to hear about how Farsight plan on making the same amount of revenue now that there are no longer monthly table releases. Surely they'd want to make more over time, if anything? Perhaps they have some cool secret projects they cannot discuss yet? Generally speaking, they make a great product, which fills a niche gap in the market, so why change (reduce) the proven business model? To a degree, I guess the writing was on the wall maybe when Stern Pinball Arcade came out - Pinball Arcade became a diluted product overnight, as you fragment the userbase, and basically force people to buy some of the same product again. Perhaps as they now they don't need to pay Norman, they don't need to make as much money? How many people work at Farsight? Is the focus now primarily on Stern Pinball arcade? I just can't see how Farsights other games could make anywhere near as much money as The Pinball Arcade in its heyday, so how are they now going to keep the money coming in? I love everything Farsight have done for Pinball Arcade and pinball in general , but working on programs such as pinball invaders, Orballz, Brunswick bowling etc seems to indicate a potential lack of focus from them from time to time. Perhaps its only until they recruit a replacement for Norman? (Hopefully) Looking forward to the bug fixes anyway [/QUOTE]
