* FollowTheLeader: ''Pinball FX's'' [[BattleRoyaleGame Pinball Royale mode]] is inspired from games like ''{{VideoGame/Fortnite}}'' and ''{{VideoGame/Tetris}} 99''.
* IKnewIt: Some speculated that as ''VideoGame/ThePinballArcade'' lost the license for Bally and Williams pinball recreations, they got outbid by Zen. The official news didn't drop until September 4, 2018, confirming that Zen did outbid Farsight for the license.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes / NoPortForYou:
** The original ''Pinball FX 1'' games didn't make the port to ''Pinball FX 2'' on Xbox One due to those using old tech.
** A couple of tables didn't make the transition over from ''Pinball FX 2''/''Zen Pinball 2'' over to FX 3 due to licensing issues. The Switch version of FX 3 also didn't see releases of Marvel or Star Wars games, but ''Star Wars Pinball'' made its appearance some time later on that platform.
** With the transition from ''Pinball FX 3'' over to ''Pinball FX'', Portal and Walking Dead are being dropped from the lineup on the new game due to licensing.
* SavedFromDevelopmentHell: The gap between ''Williams Pinball Volume 5'' and ''Volume 6'' was 10 months. ''Volume 6'' is Zen's first pack containing alphanumerics. Considering all the previous pinball games involved a dot-matrix display, the previous Williams hardware proved to be quite a daunting task to emulate while not breaking UI elements on all the other tables available. ''Volume 6'' was released on October 20, 2020.
* TheWikiRule: ''Pinball FX'' got one in late 2019. See it [[https://pinballfx.fandom.com/wiki/Pinball_FX_Wiki here]].
