TPA promised cabinet support & never delivered so I can’t they will be missed.

Odds are another developer picked up the license

Why else would someone turn down TPA?

Quoted from JJHLH:

Yes. Arcooda had an agreement with Farsight to use Pinball Arcade games in their cabinet. That was supposed to have happened last year but never materialized.

That IMO makes it even more likley someone somewhere closed a deal recently.

Bet we see a new coin op Ultrapin style game.

Foil hat time

Maybe Stern told TPA to choose between WMS/Bally games or Stern games, in an effort to sabotage CGC sales in the real world?

Various members here state often TPA was the gateway drug which led them into pin ownership.

Demand for RBION increased after the TPA version & I'm sure other games gained popularity from TPA as well.

Or TPA sucks & folks quit buying the shit. I know that's what happened with me.

Quoted from John_I:

I've tried MANY times over the years to get into simulated pinball and I just can't do it. PCMAME, tablet, phone, XBox One, and even dedicated cabinet with feedback. I even purchased Pinball Arcade based on endorsements here on Pinside and by my bug guy. In the end I just can't do it. They are all just fake pinball to me. That's part of why it surprises me how many people who have decent collections are posting displeasure in this thread. I feel bad for everyone who loves this game and hope there is something else in the works to bring these titles on another platform. For myself, I honestly could not care less.

If you think of it as a pinball video game then you will have fun.

If you go into it thinking its pinball replacement then you will not have fun.

Sorta like porn. It aint real but...
