Do You Get Mad When Games You Love Don't Sell Well?

[Weedlab]

Mad? No Disappointed? Yes. Usually, for me, games in that category are games that diverge from the norm, and in that sense I am disappointed since they contribute heavily to diversity. Games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, Journey and Beyond Good and Evil are all gems, but sadly their sales didn't reflect their brilliance. My disappointment has to do with dwindling motivation to either make direct sequels to these games or 'spiritual successors' due to the profit motive. I'm afraid Puppeteer may fall in this trap, but I'm hopeful it and rain will at least break even and continue to encourage the devs to diverge from the norm.
