Nice strawman, how about some valid argument next time?
[Intelligence] It appears that witty repartee isn't your forte.
They aren't the only ones. Companies are basically a name and who they really are depends only of the people who belong to them. Some key people of LucasArts left over the time, enough so that the company is different from what it once was. Same thing happened with Bethesda. If you ask me, it's more fun to check people over time, because it's fun to see that most of them at best lost their touch or at worst went batshit insane. Think of Warren Spector, John Romero, Richard Garriot, Peter Molyneux or Cleveland Mark Blakemore to only name a few.
They could have not released them at all.
Then again people are always going to find something to bitch about no matter what you do.
You rang?

Thats the spirit!SideSwiipe: Surprised GoG isn't getting this, looks like Steam is trying to compete on the side of good old games? You should check it this new site that just came out www.GameStreamer.com they've just launched so not too many games yet but they're the first open catalog and claiming they will have over 5,000 games within 3 months.

Sure, I could go on about how far some companies have fallen in terms of quality, but I can't think of many that lost so much relevance without going out of business entirely. Bethesda, SquareSoft, Blizzard, Bioware, Bungie, Rockstar - no matter what your opinion on how their new stuff compares to their old stuff, the fact remains that they're all bigger and more popular than ever. LucasArts, on the other hand, is pretty much just a punching bag nowadays.
Apogee / 3D Realms is a similar case.
