What will happen to PFX3 Servers / Leaderboards (PS4)?

[sui99]

After yesterdays announcement that the new game won't release on PS4 and new tables also won't come to PFX3 it seems like you are done with the PS4 version. Which sucks but it ultimately just means that we finally have a "definitive version".

Question just is: Will you shut down leaderboards or can we at least keep competing on the old platform?

Ps. Good luck with your PS5 launch; just recently I saw a poll "Are you still playing Demon's Souls?" - there were over 100k replies and about 80% answered "I don't even have a PS5"

Pinball FX?

It took me some digging to find the announcement. Is it the announcement for Pinball FX?

Looks like it. I think that just about confirms it for me. If the Twitter responses to that post are any indication, Zen will retain approximately 10 to 20 percent of its customer base in this "upgrade", and the rest of us will have moved on to something else.

It was fun while it lasted, Zen. I'm out.

Yeah, I was referring to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azXRN_Bqcmc

Sorry for not linking it. I forgot that Zen themselves abandoned their own forum...

Also worth a read (lots of drama but also some more comments from Zen): https://www.reddit.com/r/PinballFX3/..._fx_deep_dive/

The announcement certainly didn't go down well with the community.

It's sad .... but it is the truth. They have been moved from their community and this forum into a galaxy, far far away....

Pinball FX3 will remain in the stores as opposed to the previous transfer when we removed PFX2. We know we didn't handle that situation perfectly. We don't plan to shut down the PFX3 servers, as the game will also stay in the stores and we will still be active on the PFX3 forums too. If we would do anything like that, we will surely let you know in advance.
