Brutal Legend creator doesn't worry about sales
360 News | What, Schafer worry?
A few days ago, we reported that Brutal Legend creator Tim Schafer had ruled out using a guitar controller in the upcoming heavy metal/fantasy game starring Jack Black. In the same interview with MTV Multiplayer, Schafer was quizzed on the possibility of poor sales despite critical acclaim, as occurred with his last game, Psychonauts.
"Fans worry too much about sales, to tell you the truth," said Schafer. "As long as you make a cool game, publishers want to talk to you… (They say,) ‘We liked Psychonauts, and we think we could have sold it better.'"
Regardless of this laissez-faire attitude to sales, Schafer seems confident that sales of Brutal Legend will be strong, as it "is a game that naturally has more commercial hooks, like hot babes and Jack Black."
