The best advice I can see for getting OWI's name back from the fringes is to rerelease Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus over Xbox Live Arcade and take advantage of those same gamers that made their series a hit. Advertising through XBL or other gaming venues is a great way to get the word out, or even reminding people what your company has accomplished in the past... I suppose Lorne's plan might conversely be reliant on not being pigeon-holed into one category and having the stigma of being only for "gamers." It is my opinion however that there needs to be some sort of marketing blitz or ARG let alone some shred of information to garner more interest in Citizen Siege and OWI.
It is quite sad though, just the other day I found the old holiday cards that OWI used to send out to the fans...those days seem long gone.
