In other words, the large potential market for such games has changed/move on/lost interest. And yet the companies that produce p-&-c games have largely not adjusted accordingly and today that kind of game has slipped into obscurity, no longer deserving of media coverage other than from sites like this one. Why is that, Beacon? And what do you see are the consequences for it?
