[QUOTE="kenjib, post: 175674, member: 530"] Thanks for the info Ryan. That really is a tremendous shame for the entire industry that Rowling is a control freak about her books. From reviews it seemed that this attitude also really hurt her in the film area as well since the biggest complaint was that the adaptation was too slavish to the books and as a result did not take advantage of the different medium very well (I saw it but didn't read the books so I can't judge for sure - the film was indeed a bit sluggish). It's good to hear about the success of the Pokemon game. Hopefully it will have a beneficial effect on the industry some years down the line. Do you know if anything is being done to keep up the momentum? As mmadsen points out, why haven't more similar games come to market? Are they in the works? I really think that the D&D adventure game lacked focus, but of course you would know better about it's target audiences and sales figures. In my firsthand experience, however, it was far too close to normal D&D rules-wise to really be of much use. Anyway, I don't think this tangent is all too much off topic. The point is that expanding the market might be a better alternative to raising prices - or something that can be done at the same time. [/QUOTE]
