LucasArts cancels Sam & Max Sequel

I just read the following on Slashdot:

A terse press release from LucasArts, the creator of classic adventure games such as Grim Fandango and the Monkey Island series, reveals that development on Sam & Max: Freelance Police, the planned sequel to Sam & Max Hit the Road, has stopped. Says LucasArts exec Mike Nelson, 'After careful evaluation of current market place realities and underlying economic considerations, we've decided that this was not the appropriate time to launch a graphic adventure on the PC.'" The International House Of Mojo fansite has some editorial comments on this move, the second Sam & Max game cancellation in recent years, lamenting: "LucasArts has made a gigantic mistake."

As a real Sam & Max fan (bought the first Sam & Max game) this is a real shame. The wicked comedy in Sam & Max was always really funny and the great LucasArts adventure style made this a great game! Sorry to see you guys go!
