Briosafreak said:Sir_Brennus the statements from Leon actually concur with what Sander said, I'm not following you this time.
Coudn't find the nice quote from LB where he actually admits that VtM:B bad sales put them out of the business.
The reason Sierra, Atari and Activison were not interested in officially supporting and financing further patches for ARCANUM, ToEE and VtM:B were their lower than expected sold units.
Not so much for ARCANUM, but very much true for ToEE and VtM:B. The lack of finance for the support of the old product and the lack of a new publisher got Troika into the fatal sandwich.
Troika's games were terriffic indeed, but cannot be called "satisfying and sustainable financial successful".
