Highway don't have a license to sell Williams bally games ever, farsight was for pc not a commercial sold table.
It's all game over for them now
Quoted from nudgey:Straight from the rumor mill: Stern bought the Bally/William licenses and are going to reproduce the machines. If true, it's incredible news.
Garbage, CGI already have agreements to make 10 games, so all the good titles would already be taken.
Quoted from jimjim66:I bought their machine. I purchased the Farsight games. I can put the games I bought on anything I want to put them onto, as I own the game. That's why they stopped pointing out where to purchase the software. They never claimed to have the license and went out of their way to say their machine just PLAYS the software because Farsight lost the license.
Their machine can play Zen games, the person buying their machine has to get the Zen software off of Steam. They can hire software developers to make pinball tables like their dragon machines. They got the right to use Timeshock, which has better graphics and physics than Farsight's games, I'm sure they can get others. Just like their arcade cabinets can play xbox, pc, and playstation games, their pinball cabinet can play games you OWN from your pc. It is the same business model of VPcabs, which is doing very well from what I understand.
The only arrangement they made with Farsight is having Farsight optimize the software to play in pincabs. Basically, Farsight just added a cabinet feature that changed the perspective of their game. ZEN will give you a code to play their software in cabinet mode, and they have incredible licenses and really awesome games. It is too bad future Arcooda cabinets won't get to play Farsight Bally/Williams games, but there a literally tons of other stuff out there that they can legally play.
So it is NOT game over for them now. (That's why I down voted your statement)
What i saw was an ad for the machine with games fitted not bare like you stated $7000 with games
