Im speaking into the old adventure game, since its what many seem to be attached to, as I see it lol moe was "adventure" (or something) and was just a big failure because it was lacking of story and substance, when it combined another "nowday" features as 3d, and some action, you have to admit it was a big decline for the "adventure" feeling the kq series was about, thats my point, maybe the big picture there are sites as JA which its a big portal of info, but even so, without the developers there wouldnt be much of a JA, and hahaha maybe its because of what I said, because I know what big commitment it is that I apprecciate what Tierra has done so far, that I see them the way I see them, it is a very personal perspective, keep that in mind.
About the fan community I guess your right JA does cover pretty much what the adventure gaming is right now, but JA does not develope games, he covers it and offers a service, which its entirely different, Tierra does develope (which IMO its a lot to say) and I think they have an important place in adventure fan community, thats what I meant.
