Steve Purcell On Sam & Max 2's Cancellation

Posted by simoniker on Friday March 5, 2004 @03:47PM from the doh-doh-DOH dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Saw this newsbit on AdventureGamers.com - Steve Purcell, creator of Sam & Max, made the following statement in a letter to the LucasArts fansite Mixnmojo regarding LucasArts' cancellation of Sam & Max 2: 'LucasArts' sudden decision to stop production on Sam & Max is mystifying. Sam & Max was on schedule and coming together beautifully... It's a shame to think that the [dev team's] accomplishments, as well as the goodwill that has been growing in the gaming press toward this project, will all go to waste due to this shortsighted decision.' Check out the link for the full letter. There is also an interesting editorial posted on AdventureGamers.com as well." Is this cancellation a blow the commercially developed traditional graphic adventure can recover from?

You suck! Lucas Arts is about George Lucas and his "CG" labeled crackpipe and not about entertainment anymore.

Your decision sucks! The gaming press gave Sam & Max 2 a chance *before* it was released. So popular was the idea to have another Sam & Max adventure.

Oh, please for the love of good fuck yourself. Even releasing the threatrical release of Star Wars on DVD (instead of that fucked up han_solo_didnt_shot_first_because_george_has_becom e_a_church_freak bullshit) would fix your failure to entertain anymore.

Oh, and Steven Spielberg is an asshole. Tell George he should tell Steven that he's an ass with a money sucking hole.

Thank you
