[QUOTE="EldarOfSuburbia, post: 270277, member: 4106"] Like ve said, they still sell plenty of Season 1 packs to keep going, it seems. Most likely, only SPA. Sadly, there are only so many tables that people want that are worth making. Banzai Run satisfied a lot of people. Of the tables still missing, most are licensed and even the seemingly dead licenses (e.g. Rollergames, The Shadow) may be far more problematic than we realize. SPA was badly handled, but reading between the lines, I think they were also borked to some extent by whoever paid for AC/DC - I'm assuming it was Samsung/Oculus - getting exclusivity rights for x months. Also, modern Sterns are harder to do well (see Ghostbusters). It's possible Norman was the real driving force behind TPA and the business model it followed, and his departure allowed for them to break from that cycle. Or maybe not. As fans, it's our job to speculate on such things. My guesstimate is 25-40. How many of those are actual developers who do stuff, and how many are pure management, I can't guess at. I hope so. They probably made more from season packs than individual DLCs (except on iOS, where season packs can only exist after the season is complete). Or not. Let's just say that their track record aside from TPA/SPA is... spotty at best. My wife doesn't like living at altitude. Maybe she can find a place in San Bernadino or Banning, while I live up the mountain? As am I. As am I. [/QUOTE]
