They tried working with a group on something similar in 2014, but it was canned. (I'm sure there's other stuff, but for now: <a href="http://www.macnn.com/articles/14/12/02/physical.media.gaming.company.and.rights.holder.slow.to.adopt.digital/" target="_blank">http://www.macnn.com/articles/14/12/02/physical.media.gaming.company.and.rights.holder.slow.to.adopt.digital/)</a> It'd be relatively cheap to create their own in-house version now, with them having total control and the power to give full support - and of course, retaining 100% of the profits.Regarding whatever games sold X, therefore we can make X - no really, doesn't work like that. You have to consider the demographics involved, the target audience and the context of your game. (Otherwise you end up with: ''Star Dew sold well. We can make a retro style game and it will well to the D&D demographic. Another game that sold very well is Counter Strike. Therefore I believe we have all the evidence we need to convince the naysayers that a WOTC developed game should be a first person action shooter in glorious 3D with multiplayer support. Those that claim otherwise can just check out the number of copies of Counter Striker sold!'')What we *can* claim is that Star Dew valley sold well. Why it sold well is open to debate. Would it have sold well with a different graphic style? Perhaps. Or maybe its because the actual gameplay is very enjoyable, for a given demographic. It's up for debate. But none of this is evidence to support the claim that a WOTC developed game should be 2D rather than 3D, because it would sell more/be better - unless, of course, we're simply arguing for our own preference of game and style of game. In which case, hey to each their own!</blockquote>
