IMO they tried that with Freelancer (see my edit above, sorry bad timing) and achieved some success. Unfortunately not enough to keep the genre alive. I'm curious to know if X-Wing Alliance was a profitable venture for Lucasarts. They put a lot of resources into its development, good voice acting, accurate modeling, etc.
