Perhaps, as the first HUGE wave of 20-something players moves into their 30's (and lose those fast-twitch muscles), the demand for more adult thinking games will grow enough to change the viewpoint of the marketers. I rather expect that STO has been shelved because the demand for thinking games has not quite reached the large enough mark, yet.
The age of catering to the kiddies, making everything "safe" for them, is about to give way to "adults count, too". It is time for the pendulum to swing. Ever hear of "Children should be seen and not heard"?
Ask Oroho just how much she would like to NOT hear the brats.

Well, can't get too much more adult themed than Conan really. But that isn't why STO was shelved. It was shelved because someone tried to sell rights to it within Perpetual that didn't have the authority to do that.
I don't think Conan will have that problem though. Looks to be going strong as long as this particular thing really does turn out to be only a slight ERSB hiccup.

COnan will be strong, I worry about some female opinions of it so far, We do need real ones to play as well.

I'm still doubting I pick it up myself since I'm just personally tired of fantasy games after EQ, WoW, Lineage, etc, etc...
But if I do I've gotta have at least one toon with a maxed out Butt called Mister BigBooTay.
Thank you Buckaroo Banzai and Butt Slider.
