How come they don't make FMV games like these anymore?

Reportably... they would be too expensive?  It sort of doesn't make sense... it seems we should be able to do now what we did 10 years ago... but cheaper...  And games are breaking sales figures left and right...

But... I think you can almost compare it to hand carved antiques.  It seems everything was hand carved future-antique quality one and two hundred years ago.  But we don't make it any more... too expensive.  Or rather, the cost of producing the alternatives is so low that you can't compete with it.

I was in contact with some of the FMV Tex Murphy folks not too long ago.  They said they still had interest in it... but that they didn't think they'd be able to make any money.
