I'm also not fond of this. TTG did an overall good job with Sam&Max (some epsiodes were weaker, some better, 204 for instance was very good) but for my taste it's too much licences (for a business sake?). Did you check out their Strong Bad serie? I really love adventures but this is just not my cup of tea. Some Strong Bad emails are funny but i just don't need to play this as an adventure. Same with Wallace and Gromit, kind of neat but it for sure doesn't come close to stuff like a Monkey Island or a Day of the Tentacle.
In my opinion they are going too much the safety way with licences and at least from a adventure gamers point of view wasting all their talent on such licences. I don't need Strong Bad as an adventure as well as i don't need Wallace and Gromit. I want successors to adventure marvels like listed above or really new content based on their own IP.
Kind of sad because they would have all the talent to do so. My guess is that if they wouldn't have done Sam&Max after the more than dissapointing Bones which they stopped doing then they wouldn't be were they are today. After Sam&Max they kind of exploded. Anything else they are doing just fine like a very well working online shop, great marketing, good pricing with sending you the DVDs after the seasons ended for free and so on, all very reasonable.
Anyway at least there will be a third season of Sam&Max. Maybe some day they will dare coming up with something new. Till then it seems that at least i only will be a Sam&Max customer.
