I don't know about you guys, but I sure wish THQI would spend some money on advertising for Granstream Saga. According to game critics, Granstream plays better than Quest!

THQI could produce a simple 1-page ad for gamers' magazines that hypes and quotes the good reviews gamers are giving Granstream Saga.

In fact, I'm a little concerned with the fact that Quest 64 has gotten some negative comments about its supposed short-lived gameplay time, and seems to be rated lower than Granstream Saga.

However, the main point is to take some of THQI's excess cash and put it to work to sell one of the 2 big games (Granstream) we are counting on to replace WCW! This is a no-brainer people.

What's with Farrell's almost complete lack of salesmanship?

THQI doesn't hype its flagship games nearly enough to get the big sell-through needed to replace revenues for WCW. What are they holding their cash for if not to sell more product?

PS--I also think THQI should go after the WWF license. When AKLM lost the WWF wrestling license, their stock dropped 30%, just like THQI did when they lost their WCW license. Seems like buying a wrestling license should bring back a 30% gain in stock value and importantly bring back the perception that THQI is a player in this perennially favorite genre.
