[[Doing It for the Art|They're very clearly in it for the art]], releasing all sorts of fun machinimas and mockumentaries in between games to appeal to the fans. The interpretation of Hell seen in Sam And Max is very clearly modelled on their own office. They even published a complete ''Sam And Max'' comics treasury (the first in 12 years), ''Surfin' the Highway'', and commissioned a new comic from Steve Purcell that was eventually nominated for an Eisner Award. So it's safe to say they've been good for the franchise.
