Pinball Arcade loses the Williams license
Posted: Wed May 09, 2018 9:51 am
Hey folks, Fastbilly wanted me to post this for him since he is stuck at work:
"Pinball Arcade has lost the Williams licence. They will no longer be for sale after June. They also will not be going on sale before then - the new owner of the Williams tables have ended their dealings with Farsight. Buy em while you still can"
So Pinball Arcade owners: you've been warned. If there is a table you have been waiting on, don't wait. Get it now.
CRTGAMER put together a list of what all is being removed:

61 titles are going to disappear from the collection as of June 30
The good news is, if you own the tables already, you won't lose access to them. If you don't and think you might want them, you have just under two months to get them. FarSight confirmed in their Facebook post that, per their current agreement with WMS, they are not able to offer discounts on the tables before they disappear. Below is the full list of games that are leaving the collection:

This affects all versions of Pinball Arcade, which is currently on Android, iOS, macOS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Xbox 360, PC, Kindle Fire, Ouya, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, and Switch
So many Williams pinball tables going away!. Doubtful if any will be available as archive backup for previous purchasers should a game console or PC fail or lose files after the end date.. At least some of the tables are on disc for older consoles.
