Also, people are constantly assuring us that such-and-such a title will be “huge”. But, oddly, they’re never so confident about this that they’re prepared to subsidise the shortfall if it turns out not to be - even though such an offer would significantly increase the chances of such a title being acquired (if available, which isn’t the case with On the Buses). |
I know what you mean though. Unless it’s a huge title, you never really know what’s going to a big seller, or what’s going to be dead in the water so to speak. Case in point, I bet Arrow had no idea their release of The Endless was going to be a huge seller for then and looking like being close to sold out.
