If you expand too much you become something else. They are happy with their current business and do not wish to expand.
From Manfred Linzner himself:

How do you see the future for your studio? Any plans to expand or open other offices outside Germany, as some others have done? Or do you prefer to remain reasonable in size in this risky industry, with controlled objectives? Since we started in the late 90′s, we have seen many studios come and go in Germany. You do a good game, grow bigger, make it AAA and after one or two flops you are gone if you have bad luck. We didn’t want to go that way. Instead of growing, we invested in our software tech and quality of life. Our future is also bright because we have enough resources to make any needed changes and the digital market is on the rise. It’s nice as well to have a steady cash flow from the many games we have already available online. And thanks to our fans, we have enough motivation to do it better with each release ! |
