Quoted from DaveH:You left out the part where every game they build is already sold. And how many orders are queued up right now. And how if they could physically build 500 games tomorrow they are all already sold. Sheesh.
And no, I don’t like the cost cutting. I don’t like the crap code at release. I don’t like the pricing. I don’t like how they abandon games that don’t sell well. But damn, they are killing it.
It's the name that sells and the art package.
People buy sometimes by the brand name loyalty and/or if it look nice.
Stern has positioned themselves to which they could put stick figures and a 3rd grade art package and it would sell like gang busters.
