In my opinion the fact this game hasn't caught on is because majority of the gaming market is 10-24 yr old male players. OOTP requires thinking and strategy. How many 10-24 yr olds do you know that have the attention span and patience to play pure strategy games? That generation today wants instant satisfaction. Action games provide this. That is why true adventure games like Myst went away. OOTP will always be a niche market game but isn't that ultimately ok? We don't always have to be everything to everyone do we? Good consistent growth (2-5%) every year allows for innovation without too many growing pains.
