Oooo man... they really slammed you guys.

I dunno... do you guys think that maybe you're marketing a game that isn't for everyone as a game that's for everyone and getting punished for the fact?

Back in the day... before every game was a first-person shooter, there was a lot more diversity between games. You could usually get a pretty good idea what a game was like by looking at it. Now a days, the emphasis in marketing games seems to be so heavily on cool screen shots and what not, that the substance of a game is largely obscurred. It's like every game is trying to steal market share from first person shooters by looking like a first person shooter, even when they're nothing like one.
