[QUOTE="steven120566, post: 236563, member: 5261"] I would assume the purchase structure will be the same or similiar to x360. 9.99 and then seasons and table pack options. I see it this way. I am a pinball player first, gamer ditsant second. I also will pick a console and stick with it till it goes dark. I inherited a 360, but bought my Wii U. While Mario Kart 8 was a big factor, pinball apps were even bigger factor. So, I am not the typical Farsight customer. But here is what things were like when I bought my WiiU... I bought it because Zen had been released. As much as I love pinball, either app has enough tables to keep me busy. I didn't have to have both. I had never even played PBA until they released on x360 and didn't even care because Zen had over 50 awesome tables (except V-12 lmao). But another factor in that purchase was PBA. PBA looked like a phenomenal piece of work though. How can I say it was a factor in my Wii U purchase when they had still not released it? Well, that logo never left the PBA website. Plus, the FAQ about Farsight's intent never left their site. And they had the promo vid up for years. FF to late autumn 2015, and I had written it off. I was thoroughly disgusted with Farsight for the way the handled the Wii U release. It may have been Nintendo's fault partially also. But why did Farsight string me and others along? Why keep our hopes up shhesh? So in late December they went all out with a social media release, then a teaser video on Youtube. What had made me very angry at Farsight and vowed to never give them a dime, they earned [B]all my respect, and then some, for sticking with their promise and working with the difficult, yet great company, Nintendo. [/B]Farsight has redeemed and now I will buy every piece of DLC for my system of choice when they finally release it. I am not wealthy but since I play pinball almost exclusively, I can afford to buy all reasonably priced tables Zen and Farsight ever make probably until I am too old and feeble to play.
