No news on their website in a very long time. Weren't they supposed to release WNBJM over a year ago?

Pinball arcade hasnt done much since they lost the Bally Williams license. Last update was WNBJM and Big Buck Hunter, that was a while ago.......
I really liked playing PA on my phone. It sucks how they lost the license but business is business I guess. Say what you will but they did a lot of good for the pinball hobby in general. They made people remember these games again. I hope they don't die but I don't really see how much more they could do unless Gary Stern opens the whole Data East, Sega, Stern Electronics, Stern Pinball library to them.
I've been a beta tester for them since the first tables came out. Every month I'd get an email to test the new tables before they became public. I haven't received an email in months, and my beta has now been turned off by them. Not sure what's going on over there.
They posted a photo on Facebook this past week visiting George Gomez and Brian Eddy at Stern. So they’re presumably working with them still. I thought I heard a while back they were trying to work with Stern to get more of the newer games out, and Stern was helping with licensing stuff.
People that purchased DLC for Stern Pinball Arcade weren't getting their games, the problem was on FarSights side and they were acting like they had to fix the server and add the games to the purchasers accounts one at a time (which is borderline ridiculous). They eventually just stopped replying.

It would be cool if they could start putting out some of the classic Sterns now that they cant do B/W titles. Id go in for Seawitch, Nine Ball, Quicksilver etc etc.
Quoted from mrossman5:They did on the Pinball Arcade
Wow.
I like to think that I keep up with all things pinball but I had no idea that they released them. Just downloaded both pins and I'm enjoying them.
Hope they stick around as I've been a fan since they started back in the day.

Oof....not good.
Dang...Just discovered to get on the top scores board on WNBJM you need over 100,000 points!
I know I'm in the minority on this, but I prefer Farsight's tables over PinballFX/Zen. The PinballFX (remake) pins always feel to me like the pitch of the table is steep.
Just read the Steam thread and it doesn't look good.
