[QUOTE="Timelord, post: 41538, member: 1441"] I would like to point out some technical aspects of the Android vs "console" versions as well. The beta versions released for android are not "official" versions. You need to "unlock" your device to install them. This is not possible on "consoles." They are very much "closed" devices. Unless you have a "modded" console, consoles will not even run non-official versions of games. This makes it technically difficult, if not impossible, to properly run and test "non-official" console games. This is not something that Farsight dictates, but rather the console manufactures enforce. Farsight might even lose publishing rights by releasing "rougue" software for any given console platform. I'm a retired insider to the gaming industry, even pinball machines (hardware real machines) had "lines that should not be crossed" in regards to various levels of distribution. If you did, you were very much putting your "ass" on the line. BTW thanks yet again to FS ! I am thoroughly enjoying each and every table. Flashback city fellows! and just when I thought no-one cared anymore. (signed) A former Bally/Williams employee.... [/QUOTE]
