By what scale? The game industry of present and past, can't be compared like that; I remember SSI announcing with pride that Curse of the Azure Bonds sold 100,000 units (@$49.99). Success is measured differently now. You honestly believe this? Noob traps like insulting the 1st Citizen of Vault City in her office? Traps like threatening Set in his compound? Those weren't Noob traps, and the result is but common sense. Modern games have just lessened their player expectations.
