You could be right ...
I've only recently gotten into Visual Pinball X. The upgrades are spectacular! Many VPX recreations are as good, sometimes even better, than certain premium tables.
It's very interesting to see some tables that were created in VPX. These include tables that clearly have licensed content in their themes: Jersey Jack's The Wizard of Oz, many of the Stern (modern-day Stern) tables, even Stern's Beatles: Beatlemania. While I can see why these tables are very popular with the VP community, it just seems like an invite for property owners to raise a red flag and demand to take it down ... for some of them, it directly competes with their digital pinball products!
It's hard to say where things will go from here.
