@Jens_Rasmussen @LittleTom WotR wasn't too bad, but it was very gay.
I think purple games tend to be gay, and gay games tend to be failures.

So it's a case of looking at A→C and missing the A→B→C.
Still, it's a fairly good model, decent predictive capability.

It's gay, yes, but I think it was an economic success.

@Jens_Rasmussen @LittleTom Yeah, I believe so.

Here's what I'm thinking:
This kind of light purple/magenta colors, also known as "bisexual lighting", is a choice that's common to designers of a certain culture (or mindset / orientation / demographic, whatever).
The title image is decided on by the lead designer, and this indicates to an extent the culture of the rest of the development team.

It's not a 100% guaranteed, but it's a good indicator:

Bisexual lighting ↓
probably progressive lead designer ↓
likely progressive team ↓
progressive values, writing, and talent hiring policy ↓
failed project.

This chain can be broken at any point, where you can have competent developers and gay designers, but it's usually not the case.

Yeah in any case these games are always failures artistically if not financially.
