Briosafreak Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 We'll find out how incisive those arguments are in just a few weeks. Listen to Dhruin guys, he makes lots of sense. I'm wondering this myself. I thought ToEE wasn't as well received as say, Arcanum, but i'm not aware of actual sales figures. ToEE met expectations, it sold better than what it probably deserves, and it didn`t bother Atari, the problem that caused Atari earnings to go to red in the end of 2003 was the failure of D&D Heroes for the consoles, it really bombed.

Which is kind of ironic, Atari being the "Grand Old" console game maker One wonders how much weight a company like Atari puts on an asset like Goodwill, even if the actual unit sales met expectations (probably due to brand recognition). If the title did seem to receive some flak and moderate reviews, it might require more marketing to sell the next product to the same market ? Just curious. Especially since I'm trying to keep an open mind in my guessing both publisher and title for Delaware.

AlanC9 Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 ToEE met expectations, it sold better than what it probably deserves, and it didn`t bother Atari.... That's only true because ToEE's expectations were so low to begin with. The problem with doing a game that isn't predicted to be a bestseller is that it's very hard to justify cost overruns to the publisher. Hence the early release and lack of bugfixing.

It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take Who would've thought... it figures Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye He waited his whole damn life to take that flight And as the plane crashed down he thought "Well isn't this nice..." And isn't it ironic... don't you think? Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you When you think everything's okay and everything's going right And life has a funny way of helping you out when You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up In your face A traffic jam when you're already late A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife It's meeting the man of my dreams And then meeting his beautiful wife And isn't it ironic... don't you think?
