Doesn't stop Code Red, Scorpion, or Raro from releasing new titles.
I think the fact that Bill Lustig lives a comfortable life and the gradual decline in physical sales has probably prompted him to be less prolific. Someone I know had dinner with him a year or so ago and Bill said that there was not a lot of money to be made anymore - my guess (and it's a guess, not fact, of course) is that if you didn't need to make heaps of cash you'd probably slow down which is where they're at, I think. Bear in mind that Lustig was heavily involved with the Anchor Bay US releases at the start of the Millennium, a time when the industry was at its peak, he's seen a bigger decline than many of his younger competitors. I'm sure that would be quite disheartening.
