Evidently they're not huge Adventure gamers. Info on Grey Matter was all over the adventure game forums.

A game can fail to sell without being the worst thing that ever came down the pike.

There is a tendency among most adventure gamers to forgive Jane Jensen almost anything based on the GK series and the quality of those, IMO, was uneven, the first being the best in my opinion. They forgave her taking forever to finish Grey Matter but perhaps they didn't like the format or perhaps they weren't interested in a new story but were hoping (rather foolishly) that it would be a continuation of GK. I seriously doubt anyone paints GM as an "unspeakable disaster". It may simply not have appealed to them.
