So this is what happened to the Williams pinball license.

Alright!

Might be cool.  I have so many tables in my Pinball FX library already, I hardly ever play more than 2 or 3 at most.  I hope they're not going to release the tables at some ridiculous price.

Per Sliderpoint over at vpinball.

Beta available now

Yeah I've seen some gameplay via Twitter, and yeah, I'm gonna have to buy in on this. Supposedly the physics are superior in nearly every way.

But I love pinball so much... It's worth it to me.

I can't help but wonder... Will they keep cabinet mode now that they got that new flashy license?

[tthurman]

Why wouldn't they?

They are selling cabs, so it stands to reason they would continue to offer cab support.

 

[Adultery]

But how come they're able to do it in a not sketchy way, unlike PA? I thought either Williams or Gottlieb was firmly opposed to cab support... I can't remember which one.

So PA side stepped it by having someone else implement cabinet mode (which is rumored on the intrewebz is why they lost their license to begin with).

Maybe it's all wrong, the Internet doesn't always check out. Lol

[tthurman]

Oh, I didn't know about any of that.

Terry is running the beta in cab mode already though.
