That's why if someone feels they don't want to support digital distribution you gotta say you're going to miss out because eventually that's where everyone will go. The problem with that is time is the enemy of a lot of companies so what to do when a company doesn't exist anymore, or rights are shared amongst new IP owners? IE: my fondest dream is just that, a dream, it's not achievable and never will be. My fondest hope was that somehow a system could come out to transfer licenses, but where the original IP owners get a cut. If they were transferable, this would fix the issue. The problem is digital sales aren't transferable so there's no way around it like when we buy a used older game. It really is too bad, I am not making light of it. Keeping control may be limited for those in the future who would want to purchase it, this is very true, but it also allows something better to come out from it (like another company bringing out a better product using the same license. Doing so and you lose control of your IP. Limited timeframes for licensing: Let's be clear, there is NO COMPANY in existence that will license a game to be sold in perpetuity. Farsight deserve some knocks, but not for limitations in their licenses I think there are a lot of people crapping on Farsight for something these very same people simply don't understand how the industry works. Now I have the funds but no way of purchasing the tables. I wish I had the funds back in 2018 and just bought them all. I don't want to buy a Wii U just to find out I can't get the tables. I read in other threads here that Wii U may still have seasons 1-5 available, but that thread is over a year old. Is there any way I can get some of these other tables? I prefer Android for the portrait tablet style of playing. It's something, but still missing a ton of quality tables I'd like to play. Their current rate of releasing tables (0 in 2020) means the rest won't be coming for years, if ever. Now many tables are no longer for sale and the new owner of the license (Zen) has only released a few I did not already own in TPA. Well, this year I have gotten into pinball quite a bit. I was very picky with my purchases and only got a few of the tables that are now delisted. At the time I had TPA, but wasn't that into pinball and didn't have a lot of spending money. I am aware that Farsight lost the license to Bally/Williams tables back in 2018.
