I'm genuinely curious. This came about in another thread. Tron and AC/DC were big successes in terms of being able to sell them for more than they were bought. After that it seems like there's a plateau. Walking Dead and Metallica are good games but as far as I know, not a moneymaker like a Tron LE. (I could be wrong but I'm just winging this)
So what if Stern was not able to maximize preorders? Would they fold the company like Williams? Would they have to cut their workforce, coders and designers included? Would they just concentrate on one great title a year and mass produce? Could Stern even operate on one a year considering their manual labor workers need to work year-around and if they made a stinker they would be ruined?
I'm just curious what you think.
