[QUOTE="wilbers, post: 285549, member: 7432"] Cost of the license wouldn't be the thing that stops them getting made (Dialed In for example would only need a JJP license and not a third-party one as well). It doesn't seem feasible to do them on mobile (or at least not in the near-ish future) which reduces the potential market - that could be solved by charging more per table on the other platforms. The harder problem to solve is how to build the technology to emulate them in the first place - that would be a cost that could only be spread over a few tables rather than dozens like is happening with the WMS tables. Also, with all the extra video/sound assets they use has anyone estimated how much storage space a single (JJP or recent Stern) table would require? If its something like 2GB per table that would probably be manageable for all, but I'd be concerned it could be more than 10x that; that said I do have Hitman 2 installed which takes 110GB so wouldn't be a problem for me, but not everyone has 1TB+ drives and no broadband download caps. Kind of thinking that if I want an extended play on JJP Hobbit that they cost £5.5-£6K - hoping that one may be at Play Expo in Manchester that I'm going to in a month (entrance ticket £18, and train ticket about the same!); there was one at Blackpool last year.
