“Unfortunately, like many other publishers, we didn’t have a booth at the TGS this year. As you know the market is tough at the moment and Marvelous decided to save the money for other investments.” – Tami Otto, Marvelous
This is really too bad to hear. I’m sure many people that attended TGS would have loved to see Marvelous at the event, though, investing their money elsewhere (perhaps making more quality titles?) certainly isn’t a poor choice.
