[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 270279, member: 134"] Eldar did a great job of answering all those questions. I'll clarify a few. FarSight employs 25 people I believe. There was a group photo taken of the entire team recently that confirmed this. Norman retired. He didn't quit, he wasn't forced out. His primary focus was audio, but he was also the person responsible for acquisition of the machines themselves. While he was not the sole decision maker of what tables got picked, he did champion a few he felt very strongly about. It was said in our BlahCade Pinball Podcast by Norman himself that season 1 outsells all the other seasons. He also stated that Big Shot in one of the most played tables in the game and has been since it was released. A few years back he hinted to me that TPA was getting to a tipping point where revenue from past releases was going to be much more dominate from the monthly new releases, and that was going to sustain them should they venture in other directions. That being said, and again he mentioned this in the podcast, as long as there is demand, FarSight will continue to provide tables. They have a working method and it would be silly to completely abandon it just because. What will FarSight's focus be in the future? I agree with the speculation that it is with SPA. FarSight has at least 2 paying clients that are public knowledge, Stern and Arcooda. Proper attention to those products is no doubt a priority with monthly releases no longer clogging up the pipeline. Oh, and Eldar you would not want to live in Banning or San Bernadino. We in SoCal call that area "the land of the dirt people". It's desert living, very rural in feel. Lake Arrowhead is a mountain resort at 5000 ft elevation (compared to Big Bear at 7000) and is a 30 minute drive across the ridge. It gets snow, but not that often (SoCal and rain, not a common combination). Just sayin', that's where I'd send the wife. Or make it a bit longer of a drive and be in Palm Springs. End recruitment pitch. [/QUOTE]
