[QUOTE="Sinistar, post: 24544, member: 683"] Well thought out , Joshua , thumbs up. We live in a world of lawyers and greedy corporations , fostered by lawsuit happy individuals looking to get rich off the slightest thing. This has caused a great injury to the creative process in every aspect of entertainment you can think of . It's sad when you think , that when entrepreneurs like FarSight comes asking for permission to use a license , instead of offering a fair compensation fee, they are probably highballed by greedy licensors . If you have the newest issue of Game Informer (Sept) check the article on Disney's Wreck it Ralph film , the bigger licensors like Capcom , Nintendo , and Sega. Were constantly changing the stupidest things for the characters in their cameos, M.Bison is bigger than that, Bowser is larger than he is , Robotnik is bigger, until the dimensions were blocking everyone else in the film out. What will probably happen is that The Pinball Arcade will go after a big license (like Tron Legacy Pinball or Pirates of the Carribean) , and the licensor will turn them down , and use the idea of making that pinball machine/s their own selves as a store app , with inferior physics and graphics .I wouldn't put it past Disney . This project the TPA is making money , money is like chumming the water for the greedy sharks . [/QUOTE]
