Americans have to be told over and over again before they will trust enough to buy a product because they are used to buying crap which means advertising for a product must be constant in all media, at all tradeshows and hyped on cable's pc shows. They will believe it must be good if they are told enough times.

But advertising to a mass market to gain maximum sales costs millions of dollars to do and a company must be capitalized enough to brush it off and afford the losses if it turns out to be a dud.

King's Bounty - The Legend will have a great long term legacy amoung pc gamers like 10 year old Thief series does. The owners of that game went bankrupt because the company done more than they could afford to do and yet the game still has a huge fan attraction. New mods are released constantly and fans are begging for more.

It really doesn't matter if the game reaches number 1 or even number 25 in the 'charts' it all depends on whether the developers make enough to pay for the work they do and get a nice bonus at Christmas time.

Get busy on a worthwhile expansion to the game King's Bounty - The Legend, and release a decent editor with the expansion. Sell both, the expansion and the editor together for $30 on your buy & download website. Keep the interest - keep the customer.
