Granted some of those titles are decent but some are dire as well.
They have to "play it safe" with titles that have been released before, and that have sold well, in order to be able to talke the chances on the more obscure stuff. Contrary to what people might think, only the latest blockbusters sell in huge numbers. Be lucky if some Arrow, and Shameless for that matter, sell a couple of hundred copies. They'll barely make a profit, if any. So they can't always go for stuff that hasn't seen a release since the days of vhs. It's just not feasible.
