[QUOTE="tripletopper, post: 276205, member: 7415"] Well, I thought that would be an alternative, either watch ads and get it for free, or pay for the content at a normal price, with no more ads ever again. At the old prices I'd wait for a sale, but the prices have come down enough where I can afford 5-10 tables for $10. Yes I agree Paying for Games PLUS Having Ads is frustrating. It's kind of like the cable TV model. Broadcast TV has lots of ads, but it's free. Premium Cable costs $10/month for one service, but it's OUTSIDE ad free, meaning HBO can have ads for stuff on HBO to fill in gaps. Cable TV is kind of a hodgepodge. Pay a general access fee that's cents per channel per month, and watch ads at a lesser rate than broadcast TV. The smart move is to either pick one, the other, or give the user the choice of ad-free paid license or advergaming. They could say once you pay for the game, you'll never get an ad ever for those titles again. That was me complaining when I saw 10 tables for $30 and or 2 tables for $10. Now that Gottlieb tables are 5-10 for $10, I say Never mind. But what's wrong with giving the choice of either ad-free gaming with a license or saving money by the ad-based demos, and a promise not to pollute with ads if you do purchase the full license, but those who don't pay could enjoy it and Farsight gets paid, either way.
