This seems like a terrible move for Farsight, PPS, and the pinball community in general. Years of work down the drain, and why? It’s not like the license can just easily be moved to another company to recreate all those tables from scratch.

Farsight has posted a few follow-up posts: an FAQ and a list of games to be removed from sale. What they have conspicuously not done is name the licensor, which I and others assume is PPS, but some are speculating may be Scientific.
Would be good to see some of the pinball press do some digging and reporting on this.
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Speculation seems to be that they did a test run with Zen Arcade a few years ago ("Williams Classics" or something like that) and the experience (or $$$) was better than with TPA
Williams Pinball Classics/Williams Pinball Hall of Fame was a Crave/Farsight production, not Zen. Where did you hear this speculation?
