[QUOTE="EldarOfSuburbia, post: 255935, member: 4106"] Updating old tables isn't trivial. The playfield textures are what they are: they don't have better resolution images. To get them, they'd need to strip the tables down, re-photograph everything, then update each table individually with the new assets. And still be working on the next 2-3 monthly table releases at the same time. Unless FS somehow manage to hire another 4 or 5 staff members purely to do these updates - and given the physical nature of what's required, those hypothetical new staff members would almost certainly have to relocate to Big Bear - it's not happening. And since updates of older tables isn't going to be a huge revenue stream for them (how much would you be willing to pay for those updated assets? $1 per table? $0 per table?), how are they going to afford to pay these new people?
