The premise of Dogs in the Vineyard isn't commercially viable? Are you kidding? It's familiar and relatable human issues multiplied by an entertaining dose of violence and drama and set in a popular genre. "You cheated on your proud wife and now maybe I'll shoot you with my cowboy gun" looks to me like commercial gold. ("Messy people doing messy things until the protagonist maybe shoots them" seems to be a proven formula for success in police TV shows!)
Vincent, I assume part of your success was having the eye to pick this one out of all your ideas as a game that would have an audience. Right?
I suspect that many folks who say, "That's just Vincent, don't expect his success," are thinking, "I don't have that eye, and I bet you don't either."
