That's actually a good point, Myst and 7th Guest/11th Hour games weren't hugely popular. I loved them though, so did my brother (told him about Witness the other day, he got it). |
Well Myst, along with sequels, sold a shitload on PCs for such a niche genre (12 mils or so, 6 millions for Myst 1 alone) - that's what I was reffering to when I said genre briefly entered mainstream. But other than that, that was about it...sure, there were few IPs that did somewhat well, but genre as a whole never really managed to gain popularity of their P&C adventure counterparts.
I can't say what Blow's ambitions are for Witness, but given how much time (and money) he spent on it VS how niche the game is, I really hope he doesn't go under with this one.
