Ehm, the Adventure Company has been around for years and years. And most of the games you see in their lineup have already been released, many ages ago.

The whole adventure games are dead argument is stupid anyway. Fandom has stayed pretty much the same throughout the years. The issue is with new genres emerging while the gamer population has exploded. Maybe they make less adventure games than in the golden days, but I'd say the standards are pretty much the same. Sure, there aren't really dominating figures like LA and Sierra in the scene anymore, but we're doing fine.

Interesting fact: Both Syberia games sold way better than games like Curse of Monkey Island or Grim Fandango.

Yep. Ten years ago, an adventure game could sell, say, 100000 copies, and that was considered good business because few if any games sold significantly more than that.

Nowadays an adventure game can still sell 100000 copies, but a Sims game or a MMORPG or whatever sells ten million copies. So adventure games are not considered good business any more by most companies.

Statistics made up, but you get the point.

Yep, the Adventure Company were kind enough to hijack AdventureGamers main URL back in the day. They're great. Wonderous first person adventures & stuff.  ::)
