Yep it is a shame, for me, I never back a kick starter for anything.
You will be rewarded for sure, maybe the new balls which will add some interesting fun!

Anyone tried the upgraded DX11 version of Pinball Arcade?

Apparently there are big improvements in ball physics/lighting et al from the DX9 version.

While it is great news and I am happy to hear it......

Booo to Stern wanting a separate app! I always wondered why RBION was the only Stern title on PA.

Can't we all just get along?  <.>

Be interesting to see how Farsight replicates the unfinished code on so many Stern machines.

Hit a target and the screen goes blank?

it would be good especially if they have game like Game of Thrones all digitally rendered it would speed things up alot. But I did see a funny comment on Pinside as Farside are known for issues as well:

"Now that I think about it this is the perfect match. Incomplete Stern code running on incomplete Farsight software."
