The Pinball Arcade

I'm beginning to think XBLA was the wrong choice for platform. Everyone but 360 has the new tables, and that includes PS3. Competing for high score against a full leaderboard is nice, of course, but the XBLA version is six tables behind and counting.

WHERE IS PC VERSION.

Agreed on last 2 posts. I can't believe I'm stuck playing the new tables on my friends phone while I get nothing on Xbox. I paid 10 bucks for 4 tables even though I have the HOF collection on disk and paid the same price. The bastards are making it hard to support them.

This, along with the whole kickstarter licensing fund still only makes me believe that they were a bit overambitious with this project. Sad thing for me was that I always planned to get this on the PS3, but decided on the 360 version for the score runs.

The stagnation on this has got me playing Pinball FX again (some pretty decent new tables were just released), something I mentioned I wasn't going to do.

XBLA has a longer "Approval" process and it seems MS is really making things harder lately. I understand why it is in place but they make the platform less and less desirable. XBLA is a whole different beast than it was a few years ago and that's not all for the better.

That's pretty much exactly it. The iOS/Android releases are fast and zippy, exactly as promised. PSN is lagging a bit, but not unreasonably so. I've got no idea what the PC holdup is, although I understand trying to get it on Steam is being a problem. XBLA, sadly, is turning into a letdown. Jump through hoops and wait months for approval, and you'll still get stuff like the Fez patch that corrupts saves. It's not impressive.

All I want is Circus Voltaire. Bastards.

They could alleviate their frustration and ours by just releasing a PC version already.

XBLA ain't worth it for indies anymore. Microsoft saw to that.

So true. Farsight and Microsoft both fucked this game up in their own ways.
