So was Sam & Max a success

Now that we can see you are making a strong bad game series, and continuing sam & max and have yet another unannounced one coming.

let hear a bit about if the phat $$$ was under, equal or more than expected :) that you earned.

Almost ever other companes can share a number on sold units of game :) so ofc you can too, and dont start with that other companies might come and make games, because i doubt Lucas Arts are gonna move away from there crappy starwars trip :)

Privately owned companies don't have to share numbers, and most generally don't unless they feel like bragging for bragging's sake. Sam & Max Seasons One and Two continue to sell well, and Telltale's obviously doing well enough that we're able to expand out to work on three series :) When I started here towards the end of the Great Cow Race, we had something like 16-17 people, and now we're up to 50+ people. Things are sweet :)

Of course! I try to refer anybody I can to try out Sam and Max, starting with a free episode and purchasing the season if they like it. I don't know if any of them have actually gone so far as to make a purchase, though...

Hell, you must be almost as big, if not bigger that LucasArts!

Anyone have any idea how big the LEC staff actually is these days?

The "games as TV" analogy continues here as well... While a lot of people jump into the latest season, there are many people who, after deciding to get into Sam & Max, want to start from the beginning. It's cool that with digital distribution, there's no worry about the old games no longer being on store shelves. On the website, the Sam & Max back catalog is sitting right beneath the current episode.

That's exactly what happened with me. I remebered hearing about Sam & Max back in the day, but I never did find a copy of it. I pretty much forgot all about the game until I started hearing about the episodes you all at Telltale were doing.

Playing the free episode you guys gave out got me completely hooked. I bought Season 1 & a subscription to 2 from the store, STH, and even managed to track down Hit the Road on Amazon (which didn't work well at all until I found out about the ScummVM).
