Where are my South Park tables?

They already announced a few tables, including South Park, won't be available in FX3 because of licensing issues.

Oh so we have to keep PFX2 and PFX3 installed for all tables. Weak.

Not all tables get ported over to the next game. You can still play them in FX2 which is where you got the product for in the first place.

Lame, storage space isn't cheap you know. I have to keep FX2 only for south park now.

You kids apparently don't understand that these are IP's that are licensed thru other parties. What that means is that they don't actually own the rights to just up and port many of these tables into a new game or platform all willy nilly as they wish. There is backroom wheeling and dealing that has to occur to make it happen. Issues arise sometimes where those other parties don't play ball with the changes they may want to make, such as the current situation. In other words, some things are out of their hands and they can't be held responsible in these particular cases.

Out of around 70 tables nearly all of them except some few they managed to secure the go ahead to bring them over to PFX3. I'd say they did a marvelous job in that regard and who knows, they may eventually be able to secure the greenlight in the future for the stragglers that didn't make it.

And for the record storage space actually is rather cheap. Ya know.

Well, I don't mind that much if online matches are fun enough to make up for the missing tables.

You can still play these tables in PFX 2.

I'm not failing to grasp the concept of licensing issues. I'm just saying it's weak. And it is weak (as used in South Park many times). Also I'm nearly 50 years old.

Doesn't much change the fact that it is very likely out of their hands. You'll have to discuss weakness with the owner of the South Park IP, presumably.

I won't bother as I really don't care that much about it. I just wanted to say weak because that is something Cartman would say in this situation.

Sadly, they didn't make the cut, along with Plants versus Zombies, due to licencing issues that is out of their hands. That said, they will always be available for Pinball FX 2, even if you delete the game and then later re-download.

Thankfully, upon first opening FX 3, you have a lot more tables than you ever had when you first opened FX 2. And more will be coming to.

These are old tables, and most who wanted them already have them. They even been on sale a few times, cheap charity bundles etc.
.
It just isn't worth the money to pay ro re-licencing these tables due to poor sales.
