This is cool, but I'm still amazed that people are dumb enough to pony up $55,000 so a multimillion dollar video game company can acquire the rights to these games for free.
I saw a post from THe pinball Arcade proclaiming that they had just sold 3 million copies of the pinball arcade. Makes me wonder, if they are making, lets say as a conservative estimate, $2 per copy (and with all the tables you can buy as add ons, that's way too conservative). That's $6 million in revenue.
So tell me again why they need $55K so they can make even more money? I am a sucker and did give them $10, mainly because I want TZ on my iPad badly, but when you look at the math you have to wonder.

Because licensing is part of the cost of doing business.
That's why you're not supporting it, nor will buy it when it's released, correct?
monster bash is licensed.
also i find it hilarious that you think they are doing some sort of charity for the fans.

I have mixed feelings on this. I can obviously see pudluthers point of view that they could easily cherry-pick easy licenses like Black Hole that don't require any third party involvement. They were able to do Ripleys Believe It Or Not without donations, though.
I've said it before, but I hated that Kickstarter video they did. The tone of it was so stupid and manipulative. They were obviously buying and keeping all the titles they are making (and some they haven't) since they claimed to have a full-time repairman on staff.
This is a company that has been in business for a long time, and I didn't really consider it to be in the Kickstarter spirit for someone like that to be passing the hat. Its starting to seem like they are going to be doing this for every title now.
I have supported them by buying Williams Pinball Hall Of Fame for both the Wii and 360. I have also purchased everything offered in Pinball Arcade for both the 360 and the iPad.
I guess I'm glad these tables are getting done, but it really doesn't seem like a mature company should need Kickstarter to do this.
monster bash uses the universal monsters license. it's even stamped right there on the side of the cabinet.Monster Bash is not a license. Williams made this title because they couldn't get the Monster Mash license.
