Hmm, I always notice the iOS users getting the new tables first.  I don't think they have any barriers with releasing on Android though, so maybe you're right.

Maybe it will be able to run without Steam running once installed, IIRC a few games let you do that.  They have to release it through Steam or another party that uses DRM of some kind because that's what the license holders want.  And for most people, Steamworks is the most acceptable DRM method out there.

Thanks for the votes guys, every little bit helps!  Tell your other pinball buddies too!

Farsight borked their release date for PC in the beginning.  Can't find a link but the soonest they could do a PC release was spring '13 - at least that was the original news from them about a year ago.  I'm wondering if they're still working that while they wrestle with steam?
