I haven't watched the video yet but my prediction is that they were mass produced to grub money but then the mobile game and live service lootbox markets replaced them.

Not to say they were all money grubs! No! Just like 94% of them, and there were A LOT.

I don't know what alternate universe you come from with your mass produced point and click games but I would love to visit it 😅

Idk if the WildTangent store is still online but you could find them there.

But most of them were money grubs. Some, I'm sure, were decent games though!

How old are you? When point and click adventures died, the only mobile game people were playing was Snake.

"I haven't watched the video yet..."

I don't know why you kept typing cuz that's where I stopped reading. Everything after that was going to be useless.

Whats with the hostility? I'm just talking about what happened when this genre of game fell off.
