[QUOTE="Rudy, post: 33649, member: 1233"] I think licensing problems would prevent that from happening actually... I'm sure they have plenty of non-disclosure agreements to prevent some tables being leaked early, and some tables that they've acquired but the license could change at any moment. We've already seen the problem with TAF, but what if (I know, I don't like to say this but) an actor that is heavily involved in a table suddenly dies? Suddenly it can be seen as incredibly tasteless to go ahead with something like that. When Michael Jackson died, Rock Band explicitly had to say that there was NO Michael Jackson DLC coming soon, in order to to calm the backlash brewing on forums. There's also the possibility that Farsight COULD buy a table, take it apart and then realise that it's just not possible to emulate. Announcing it a few months in advance would be catastrophic, and you can just picture thousands of people commenting on facebook about the 'promise' made to bring X table to the platform. And if they had to change a design mid game, it'd potentially create a scenario where a table will not physically work at all. Either it would involve continuing with the dodgy code riddled with bugs in the hope that it eventually works, or they could start afresh with this new efficient coding only for the table to not work.
