Sorry but I do not like this company. They keep blaming XBOX for no updates for the last year. All the tables I purchased on XBOX are now unplayable. My Iphone tables are bugged and some unplayable. Now that I have an Ipad I can play most of them but a few are still bugged. I have emailed and even met with a rep at a convension and got the run around. Flat out asked for my money back or to transfer all my tables to iOS, they wouldn't do neither.

I'm sorry but I am tired of beta testing games for companies. Back when non internet consoles were out you had to make DAMN sure your game worked 100% before releasing. Now companies are using the consumer to test for them so they can save money on not paying beta testers for 6 months to a year.

If this piss poor company can get the Addams license then I hope PPS can secure one too.

Quoted from Captain_Kirk:

Blaming XBOX? XBOX isn't a company. And yes, their publisher for Pinball Arcade on the Xbox went into bankruptcy, and it's still tied up in court.
I play Pinball Arcade all the time on my iPhone and iPad. I'm not experiencing any major issues.

They should blame themselves for picking the wrong publisher. At one time I couldnt play STTNG because the launch button would not work. It now works but have just stopped buying from them. I got the pins I want so no need to give that company anymore money. They emulate the pins very well but bad customer service, pompous reps and kickstarters.

Quoted from captainadam_21:

They are? I haven't tried to play any of the tables for quite some time as I got fed up with them.

Yep, try it. The Xbox disconnects the controller everytime you try and launch a table. I am not the only one with this issue but its not a big deal to this company. I have publicly called them out numerous times on how they abandon Xbox. They could easily get a new publisher and reissue the game. They will state otherwise and lie about it.

Quoted from Captain_Kirk:

Wrong! You should blame Microsoft for not allowing Farsight to self-publish the Pinball Arcade.
Sony did, and there are no issues on the Playstation platform.
So, essentially, you backed the wrong horse buddy.

Should I blame Microsoft for the shit customer service or the bugs on the other platforms too? Come on guy. This isn't a PS4 vs Xbox issue. It's just another company putting out bad products. Will pass on any table in the future.

Quoted from nate1981s:

How can TAF be licensed and profitable when they can't manage to secure the rights to rerun the playfields due to Raul Julia's estate? Are they removing his likeness from the virtual pin?

I cannot find any real evidence of the Raul Julia estate denying the licenses. Is this all 3rd hand stories or has this came directly from lawyers or Williams license owners? I would like to see documentation.

Raul Julia's image is not on the playfield. Its on the slingshot and translite.
