Where are all the missing pins on iOS?

[wotguvnotmeguv]

This has been annoying me for a while now - there were plenty of Bally/Williams pins available in Pinball Arcade before they lost the licence. I was late to news of them going, so hadn’t actually forked out for things like BoP and Doctor Who before they were removed (I understand that they are still available for those who paid out).

So where are all these tables now, for those who didn’t already have them? The Williams Pinball app seems to have dried up on adding new pins, ditto the non-Apple Arcade Zen app, and since Zen took the licence over it seems that much more effort is going in for digital-only tables with appealing licences than reintroducing old pins. Am I missing something?

Thankfully I had pretty much all the pinball arcade games downloaded before they removed them.

Farsight studios lost the licence for the Bally Williams stuff so it all got pulled.

I think if you bought tables, you got to keep them, as I still have t2, sttng and totan

Indeed, but Zen now have the rights to them, and despite them all having existed in digital form for years, doesn’t appear to have any intention of re-releasing them. It’s always strange to me when things just disappear from the market altogether.

As for zen and iOS, there will be no new tables added to the Williams app, Indiana jones was the last one.
They now have pinball party on iOS, which is a monthly subscription, any new tables will be available on there.
The Williams app is basically dead

See post #4 in the thread below, that is for Android, but given the timing could very well be the same with iOS (as in accidentally removed and will be back soon (for those who bought prior to removal in 2018)).

Purchased TPB COMPLETELY removed from purchase history and no longer accessible! :: Pinball Arcade General Discussions

Yes while Farsight is hyping up their tournaments on their FB page their game is no longer in purchased history for redownload on Android and on the FB page people are saying the same for their PS4 DISC! That means you can NEVER play the game again even if you purchased it because isn't no...
