IN RESPONSE TO TALK IN VARIOUS SUB-FORUMS OF ZEN HIRING REAL TABLE DESIGNERS:
Zen itself said they'd consider employing whoever did Theater of Magic. Guess who that was?
The exciting thing is that John Popadiuk is creating his own custom tables with Ben Heck (a zombie themed one) and another magic-related table for his own company. Unfortunately these are very limited editions - less than 20 made for about $17000 each.
Which sucks because he is one of the best designers ever and I'll never get to play them.
UNLESS say Zen were to approach him and licence it for release digitally. Everybody wins. John makes some more moolah, that keeps him in the game doing great stuff, Zen gets an awesome design and publicity, we get to play a brand new Popadiuk table.
The only ppl who might be put out are the owners of the actual tables, but even then pinball is a gift to the world, and your table can only be more prestigious the more ppl who know about it.
John is a fan of Zen, has posted on these forums, there's even a link on his facebook page, so the doors should be wide open for this to happen. And I hope Zen do it before Pinball Arcade or someone else do it poorly.
I'm going to cross-post around the sub-forums to drum up support and make sure Zen know it's something they should be looking into. Would you like for this to happen? Comment below.
