Exactly. But even if they come up with "killer" titles for adults, that doesn't necessarily transfer over. If you look at the hype-o-meter, how many of those games would you even think possible to recommend to a kid? MAYBE A Vampyre Story? (I don't have it open so I don't know). But a game like Dreamfall, whatever else we may think of it, isn't going to cut it, I don't think, nor Lost Paradise, Still Life, TMoS . . .
