Gamespy had the opportunity
to discuss the closing of Troika with
Leonard Boyarsky. He talks about
projects that were in the works, support with Bloodlines..the
usual.
GameSpy:
Troika has been around for several years, and had three good titles
under its belt. Why do you think you weren't able to secure funding for
your next project?
Boyarsky: I'm not sure, you'd have to ask the publishers. If I had to
guess, I'd say it's because triple A titles are costing more and more
to make, and people are looking for titles that will appeal to a more
mainstream audience than ours have traditionally. In plain English, our
games just didn't sell enough units.
I guess there's no room for innovation anymore.
You've gotta conform...market to the peons, the worthless masses who
wouldn't know a great game if it broke down their front door and shot
their dog. Troika had potential, probably the most potential I've
seen from a game developer in a long time. The man brought 'em
down, though. I just hope everything works out in the end for
everyone.
