"The idea is pretty unique, but it was super-hardcore. Adventure games are a niche of the market and Hearts of Iron isn't huge."
Anyone think we should start a campaign to tell them that, hey, adventure games are totally awesome? Or should we just lament the loss of another video game due to "marketplace realities"?
