I kind of like this, though in fact I'd be tempted to drop sheep altogether.

Producing the boxes and CDs certainly did cost money, but it's not nearly as significant as the development costs.

Well, you already know what the quality is! Perhaps people will have Net connections capable of downloading 450 MB, but I consider that way too big. (Besides the fact that our ISP would charge us for the increase in bandwidth used, so it's not purely a cost reduction.) I don't think people would download 450 MB just to try it out.

Many magazines sell space on their CDs. And if KoDP2 were the same size, it would take most of the CD.

So many things could happen that I wouldn't want to take anyone's orders until we're sure we're going to ship. (Of course, if any of you have won the lottery or made a killing in the stock market before the dot-com crash, we'd be happy to be your clients if you want to be a patron of the arts :-)

Hmm, I tend to think that they are too predictable, in that there is a set path.
Heroquests definitely test your hero, and there are many chances for failure. There are certainly things you can do to increase your odds. But think of it like soccer. What could be simpler? Just kick the ball past the goalie and into the net. The net's a lot bigger than the goalie, after all. How come it only actually happens a couple times in a game?

Generally you have to be pretty low before you get food on a raid (but it will happen).

Don't forget that splitting isn't the end of the world, it's actually a pretty common thing for an Orlanthi clan.
