RIP Origin. I still need to play WC: Prophecy some day, but it won't be the same without Bluehair being the PC.
Quote:LucasArts holds a number of franchise names - Monkey Island series, Full Throttle (which they were developing a sequel for and then canned it), Sam and Max. An argument could be made that these are adventure game franchises, and that genre doesn't sell well, however.
LucasArts is my 2nd favorite company to hate now (behind EA). They release unfinished games that could be the best ever if given more time, and waste 4 months developing games I want - adventure games - before canning them. They were also working on a Sam and Max sequel recently.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
