Painted_Doll: Say hello to new Telltale games and to Ken Follett’s The Pillars of the Earth - Season Pass .
Hello.
Ok, here's the thing. Telltale have released more that 10 games using that model and always finished their games. TPOTE is from daedalic, and established studio. If you can't see the difference in risk involved, that's your prerogative.
There's this actually rather good game called Blues and Bullets. It was cancelled after the second episodes. It didn't sell enough for them to keep doing it, apparently. That's why they use that model, to cut on loses.
Painted_Doll: favourite tags of the Gog curators : Devolver Digital , permadeath , pixel , platformer , puzzle , roguelike
You can always take a look
here to see how many games with pixel and puzzle they reject.
Edit: And to add to this, just say that the problem are not the Devolver Digital / permadeath / pixel / platformer / roguelike games we have here, that are more often than not, rather good. The problem are the other games we DON'T have here.
