Pinball FX fans react badly to the price of its new Indiana Jones table DLC
Fans of Zen Studios’ Pinball FX series have responded negatively to the price of one of its most eagerly anticipated DLC tables.
Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure is a complete recreation of the iconic 1993 table created by Williams, and is available as DLC for any player who owns Pinball FX3 on consoles and PC, or Williams Pinball on mobile.
As the 100th table available for PinballFX, and given that it’s based on one of the most popular pinball tables of all time, the release should be a generally positive one for Zen Studios.
However, fans have been showing widespread displeasure at the DLC’s price, which is $14.99 / £12.49 for the single table.
Most previous Pinball FX3 tables have come in packs of two or more tables. The Williams Pinball packs, which contain recreations of other classic Williams tables, generally cost $9.99 for three tables.
Prices for other bespoke tables created exclusively for Pinball FX3 vary, but generally also cost $9.99 for three tables. Packs containing tables themed on Marvel, Aliens, Jurassic Park and Universal movies cost the same.
The only DLC more expensive than the Indiana Jones table is the ‘season’ bundles, but these include many more tables than the single table offered in the $14.99 Indy DLC.
For example, Marvel Pinball Season 2, the most expensive DLC, costs double the Indiana Jones DLC at $29.99. It includes eight tables, however.
It could be argued that the costs involved in securing the licence for the Indiana Jones table are likely what has led to the increase in price this time. However, other licensed tables in the past have been notably cheaper.
