[QUOTE="pinballmonster, post: 296974, member: 8047"] 90% of all reports indicate that FX is nothing more than a beta. The UI is a wreck, the game is so poorly optimized even the highest end gaming systems can't keep up, zen hasn't even proofread text within the game? [B]1th place?!?[/B] At this stage it should be free to download and play for at least a select group of beta testers initially. Players who have a track record of providing quality feedback and have extensive knowledge and experience testing virtual pinball in particular. After closed beta testing, zen could open up the beta testing to more players before finally releasing it into the wild for sale. Instead, zen is trying to release an early/closed beta test development for a premium unheard of price! $15 for Indy, and $15/mo. for a subscription, the highest in the industry even though they only have 38 games! How can zen get away with charging the highest prices in the industry when players should be playing for free to help zen's developers get the game into playable shape?!? What makes this all the more bizarre is that zen has been blessed with a huge influx of revenue from apple, epic and presumably embracer (maybe not the latter), while releasing almost nothing in the past year and a half. Zen has claimed all along that UE is a superior engine which would free up resources for actual game development instead of engine maintenance yet during their time using unreal they have produced exactly zero titles that work properly with UE. Ironically, Indy in FX3 and mobile looks and plays beautifully. Zen is starting to look like the Titanic. [/QUOTE]
