[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 285037, member: 134"] This is sort of the new digital reality though, isn't it? I mean movies get yanked off digital platforms and lockers because the hosting site no longer pays for the license, and it's probably why a competing company buys the license for themselves. Zen had the South Park license and a FIFA license, but no longer can sell the South Park tables or Super League Football because those licenses expired. In the case of South Park, it went to UbiSoft I believe who probably bought exclusive digital licensing for a set amount of time. Arcooda is still able to 'sell' the TPA pack they had FarSight do because they bought a bunch of those specifically to pre-install into their cabinets. So like physical media, it can be sold until it sells out, then it is no more. What would have been truly odd is if FarSight had to pull the tables out of the game completely, which they didn't. As to your idea about new art, sound, etc, they essentially did that for their Pinball Tournaments app, where they reskinned Fireball and changed a few rules. That can still be downloaded today.
