Freudian slip?
Not well deserved IMHO. Just how many of their games are direct ripoffs of other games? I've played Dungeon Hunter Alliance, and while I had some fun, I could not stop wondering how much of a ripoff it was from Diablo series. Same for their FPS game, their 'Uncharted' game, etc.
They don't make the best games, but time and time again I am surprised with the vision. Sure, they don't think of original ideas, but if no one else makes a sci-fi RTS then I will more than welcome game loft.
have some gameloft gaes as well and with the growing market i would have wondered if the numbers wouldn't be better than 2010.
