[QUOTE="Tripredacus, post: 275770, member: 1211"] I had some ideas, and would be truly speculation on my part. I have no secret knowledge of anything. This is in two parts. The first being that we do not know the details of the licensing agreement, do we? Was it an exclusive rights agreement? Meaning only Farsight could do stuff with those licenses and no one else could? Take this as an example. What if someone wanted to make a new Pinbot game in some fashion. Not just a "digital recreation" but say an actual machine, or perhaps sell art/media kits for the Multimorphic platform, or even mobile games featuring some of these titles and characters? If Farsight had an exclusive agreement with the licensor, then that could mean that any other use was off the table. Now let's talk about the possibility of a new pinball machine. This idea immediately popped into my head after Barry Oursler was in Buffalo Pinball's Doctor Who stream last Monday. He did not say a whole lot, but he did talk about this new company he is working for. A new company that will make pinball machines. And Nick asked him (paraphrase) what he was expecting to accomplish with the new company and Barry said "take on Stern." So it is my idea that it is possible that this license needed to expire so that this new company, formed from previous Williams pinball creators, may be able to reacquire those licenses for their own products. That's just my random thoughts on the subject tho. [/QUOTE]
