    Quoted from Diospinball:

    That's zen, and its for bs reasons so they don't get classified as over E or something stupid for the ratings.
    So yeah... I don't get the imposed censorship that Zen does. Makes no sense to me. But, hey they got the rights. And it also costs more to butcher those games then to leave them alone. I would try to sneak them through the rating and if it got higher, I'd resubmit with changes. There should be a resubmital process. There is with film.

    It’s one thing if doesn’t make sense to you, but it’s not “bs”.

    It’s called responsible business practice. When you have respect for your license holders (like Disney) and want to maintain a business relationship with them, you need to dot every I and cross every T. Zen doesn’t write the ESRB ratings. The ratings may have some stupidity associated with them, but it’s not stupid of Zen to be careful.

    Disney is probably not going to want to do sustained business with someone would “try to sneak them through”

    Quoted from Diospinball:

    And how is it sneaking

    I was just quoting your previous post.

    I understand your point of view, but I have enough confidence in how Zen studios does business that I trust they are being careful for a good reason.

    I have no insider knowledge and could be wrong.

    Quoted from Frax:

    I don't know if Zen would or not. That's not the point. I picked an easy censoring target, that's no less ridiculous than the things someone else said they HAVE censored. I'm not going to support a company that does that crap, so I can definitely say I'm out on all of the Arcade1UP 'pins' if the Williams one retains that.

    That is ridiculous. You are saying that the ONLY reason you won’t support them is because they’re careful not to jeopardize their ESRB rating, and risk getting their software pulled from kid-friendly consoles? But otherwise you were 100% on board....

    Don’t get me wrong, there’s lots of things in this world worth standing up for or against on principle but that’s a strange one to feel so strongly about

    Quoted from kermit24:

    Not sure if this will be a type of gateway drug to get more people buying real pinball machines, but I can say for certain that I wouldn't be in this hobby without the Pinball Arcade iPad app.. So really if they can have a decent playing virtual pin for ~$500, I can't see why anyone would think thats a bad thing.

    Same thing for me. I started playing Pinball Arcade 6 years ago, and it opened my eyes to the existence of rules and strategy and just how awesome pinball could be. There were zero locations to play at near my house at that time. Whenever we would go on vacation I would research the Pinside map and try to find some physical machines to play. The best was a trip to California, driving up the coast from LA to San Francisco. We must have hit 10 different locations in 1 week. I started searching Craigslist for used machines and jumped when one near me became available.

    If I had more room at home I would definitely own more than 1 pin.

    p.s. Free Gold Watch in San Francisco is the best!

    Quoted from Diospinball:

    It was a classic western trope. And that is why it worked so well.
    No shame in shooting first if you setup that the baddie deserved it.
    Hell... The duke even offed a guy in at least one movie(possibly more), and they made a point to address that in the movie.
    That movie was El Dorado. And yes... There is some stuff that people would cringe at today, and call racist... And while the movie at times feels old and creaky(becasue the two male leads were past their prime), its still a good film.
    But, at the end of the film. The duke rolls up in a wagon and blasts the main thug(main hired hand) and before that guy dies, he says something to the effect you never gave me a chance. And the duke replies "No you were too dangerous to".
    So... No shame in shooting first. In my oppinion the alteration of that scene, really makes the first star wars so much worse. And each change they've done, made it worse and worse.
    I don't mind all the stupid additions. But, that one I hate. I hope they'll release a han shot first blu ray edition one day. I know it'll never happen.

    I’m waiting for the Disney+ version Of El Dorado, where after John Wayne blast the thug and before he dies, the bad guy says “Macclunkey”
