I've never gotten into The Pinball Arcade (always stuck with Pinball FX), but this is pretty rough. A lot of the Bally/Williams tables are the most well-known ones (Addams Family, Medieval Madness, etc.), and losing the ability to sell all of them is definitely going to hurt.
There's a FAQ post about this on the Steam forums as well, with a bit more information.
I remember seeing you pretty much constantly on Pinball FX 2 & 3 way back in the day. You still into those or not so much anymore?
It tends to go in phases, because a lot of the reason I have fun with pinball is competing for high scores on different tables with other people (and even built a simple site for it along with a Discord bot for us to enter our scores through). So if other people are playing a lot at the time, I usually will too.
I haven't played much lately, though I did just pick up Pinball FX2 VR pretty recently. I definitely need to spend more time in that. It's not a particularly "exciting" VR game, but it's pretty cool.
LOL, of course you made a site for it! I still remember your SpaceChem site, it was great... although Zachtronics seems to have taken a lot of your leaderboard statistics ideas and integrated them into the base game now, which is nice.
