Sean's post was excellent. He in no way attacked anyone; Sean merely stated facts and was more open with everyone than many may be used to. One thing we always try to do: Be as transparent as possible and provide as much information as we can. Sean did exactly that.
Two quotes from the report that are applicable here:
"The current market doesn't leave room for a game like this to succeed . . . "
"The Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game shipped late, yes, but the final package was a successful GURPS introductory boxed set loaded with lots of great gaming potential."

If today's game market wasn't in the shape that it is, we would have been in a position to take a greater risk and we would have gone with our original planned print run. Unfortunately, the realities of the market is that games either blow out the door and become hits on Day One . . . or they quickly fade and vanish.
