Troika Games Interview

GameSpy has published an interview with Troika's Leonard Boyarsky, quizzing the joint CEO about the company's recent closure. The following question makes me very worried about the future of PC RPGs as a whole:
Q: Troika has been around for several years, and had three good titles under its belt. Why do you think you weren't able to secure funding for your next project?

A: I'm not sure, you'd have to ask the publishers. If I had to guess, I'd say it's because triple A titles are costing more and more to make, and people are looking for titles that will appeal to a more mainstream audience than ours have traditionally. In plain English, our games just didn't sell enough units.
