They should keep their mediocrity to as few platforms as possible.

For which games do you speak of and have played Mr. Montana :P

Erm, is that a question? I can't tell. Most of their commercial successes (which I guess would be Ben 10) are games that wouldn't do well on the 360 and PC. If you factor in the 360's high development costs and the PC's high piracy rate, I don't see why they want to develop for those two platforms. High Voltage is not a big company. If they lose money on higher budget games, it could be devastating for them.

That said, I wouldn't really care if they left anyways.

Ah well it sounded a bit like you were trolling HVS, not that they don't make the quick (and typically low quality) kids games to put food on the table, but they've made some games here and there that are above average and don't deserve the hate.  Hell people don't even acknowledge HVS for putting together the best online system on the Wii so far.

Which wouldn't be very good at all on the 360 or PC. A part of me doesn't like HVS (a mostly shovelware developer criticizing other developers and then releasing an average game after tons of internet hype), but then again, a part of me wants to see any videogame company succeed. I want what's best for the industry. So, I wish that HVS would just stick to the Wii and DS (and other platforms with low development costs) instead of risking losing tons of money on the 360 or PC.

The only reason it "wouldn't be very good at all" on PC and 360 would be the inclusion of Friend codes. Not only does it have a good number of maps and modes, it also lets you import any friend you have on your Wii System friends list, something not even Nintendo has done with their online games.  If it released on 360/PC Bounty Hunter would stand out since it's unique and fresh and the rest would be standard but Microsoft has basically made online a standard on their system and it's been a standard on PC for a LONG time, but HVS is putting work into their games and they take a lot of flack for no reason.

Have you played The Conduit yet?  I'm wondering... it's not average like your Medal of Honors and such it's just a good effort (not zomg amazing but other then the forum goers I didn't see many people claiming more then that), with fun modes, and a good story if you take the time to find the secrets in each stage kind of Metroid style.
