[QUOTE="msilcommand, post: 285035, member: 7642"] The thing that troubles me most is what kind of license lets you make a table, an entire game even, and then disallows you from selling it if the license is pulled? I could understand not being allowed to sell them on a new version of TBA, but Farsight should be protected to sell all the tables they were licensed for on the current version of TBA infinitely. Farsight should not have ever signed anything that said they could no longer sell previously licensed tables on the same game. A video game is not a physical table. It is lines of code and images. If it were my company, I would keep the physical table code (which Farsight owns, cuz they wrote it), make new art, new sound, and recode the core gameplay code myself, with just enough differences to not infringe, then release them as Farsight tables, and tell Williams to go suck an egg.
