What's funny, it wouldn't take much to turn LFBG into a serious contender. I believe it really starts with putting out a great graphical, storyline, and easy to understand game that many people like. This includes action/adventure via a 3D character (not the goofy innocent looking Charlie Church mouse characters) but a hard-nosed, realistic lead character and supporting casts. I keep coming back to the graphics in DC Universe Online. Those graphics are really cool and entertaining. That along with great product packaging I believe is first and foremost.
Perhaps put out some demos of that game and then launch them into the retail stores. If LFBG does that, it would be taken more seriously in my opinion. The time for marketing games only to people 12 and under needs to cease IMO. Also instead of free games, I believe LFBG should only allow people to obtain demos for free. If necessary during this time, advertise a $5.00 download that way they are still making money.
Better yet, LFBG should do a contest as far as who has the best video game idea. Entries could be submitted to LFBG directly and the winner could receive say $500 and serious consideration of their game idea for 2012.
That would really help the company IMO.
