Also, while I have no problem with the game or it's marketing, I do want to say that people who are all like "Ken and Roberta liked it!" are really failing to realize that they were paid to be at that "awards" ceremony, and paid to shill for this new King's Quest. This is how PR and promotion works when you have a company that has millions of dollars to spend on advertising. If you look, you will find that the advertising budgets for all of the top games are almost the same or exceed the production costs of making a game. This kind of event is nothing more than marketing - very nice looking, slick and sweet to "honor" them, but it's marketing. People never spend money like what was laid out on the event we saw unless it will make them money.
I know a lot of people want to believe in the charm and honesty of something like King's Quest - and there is a valid portion of that which lives in all out hearts - but in the end, it's a product for a company whose shareholders demand profit. So always keep a healthy bit of that in your mind when you think of what's coming.
