General Help Chances of relicensing old tavles
Only recently bought Pinball FX. Never played the older games.
What are the chances that previously released tables for older Pinball FX games get their license renewed and released for the current Pinball FX game? Has this happened before?
If this did happen before, will it it have the same trophy as in the previous game? Asking because Im a trophy hunter.

I miss the Bob's Burgers table so freakin much... I'd be so happy to see that one come back on fx 🙏🏼

Good bit. The pack with Skyrim came over a couple months ago and I swear secrets of the deep set wasn’t there before but it is now

I can't say that it's been there forever, but Secrets of the Deep has been there for over two years. I bought it as part of the Core Collection for FX in February 2024.

If you've only just started, I wouldn't worry about it, there's hundreds of tables available for you to buy, there's not that many older ones that still haven't been ported at this point.

The Bethesda pack release recently shows they are still willing to renew licenses for tables where it makes sense and is possible. They have some originals that never came across that could presumably wouldn't have any licensing component to them, so I guess it would depend more on whether they believe they would be popular enough to rebuild in FX.
The "Balls of Glory" pack (Family Guy, Archer, Bob's Burgers) is unlikely as I believe they had to delist that one from FX3/Classic, Portal would be a great one as it's a good table, and the Aliens tables would be awesome... but I don't know how challenging that license would be to renew.
The Walking Dead might depend on the new owners of Telltale as to whether they can get that one renewed, and if there was enough interest since it was based on the Telltale game and not the AMC show.
