I do not think that DW was a failure concerning the program/code itself.
The major problem was that the sim didn't sell well enough.
Therefore, the support was limited.
I think Sonalysts should have invested more in a marketing campaing to raise the awareness. But of course that's easy saying (budget).
Is there a (profitable) market for such a game in today's console world? Difficult to say...perhaps but then you need a broader scope (option for limitied realism, fancy graphics, more atmosphere).
What I would like to know is if the DW engine was enhanced for the government. Then I do not understand why it is not possible to create an updated version for the commerical market (similar like Harpoon/Steel Beats). Does anybody know the reason?
