No, I just disagree with you and decided to discuss.

No, it's because you're trying to tell us how an experienced games company should do things based mostly around theory. Reading how to drive doesn't make you a good driver.

Anyway, I am still convinced that TT is a great Company for what concern the "contents creation" but not so great in regards of their business decisions.
Ok, my point is simple. Based upon my own observations TTG has achieved exactly what they set out to do. They brought back what is essentially an unpopular type of genre. Risky business decision from the beginning, don't you think?

It would have been a good decision to bring us genres that appeal to the mass market. FPS, GTA-clones and other violent action games that we've been inundated with over the years.

Recently they updated their games engine, as shown in the newest Sam and Max series. I imagine the sales of TOMI helped greatly.

Their games are getting good reviews.

They have games on pretty much every format now. Not to mention that the frequency of games released over the year seems to be on the increase.

This isn't a love for the company, these are facts. They're growing as a company meaning they're getting something right.

From that point of view, I think they're doing well.

Seeing as the PC is where they get most of their sales and that the console market aren't nearly as interested in these types of games, surely it makes more sense to concentrate on your target audience (PC)?
