That's a lot of faggots to please. I think the best way for them to maximize happiness (and thus sales) is to reorganize their development approach:

A. TaxStealth move forward with 2D classic games

B. Lange/GHPanon do a proper 3D platformer series, respects physics and sloping levels

C. Continue making Boost games as fully fledged multiplayer racing games

4. Adventure Done Right:
>Party games ala Mario Party and Sonic Shuffle (board, spaces, multiplayer, etc)
>Minigames are Adventure style gameplay: mechanically shallow, but entertaining and fun in multiplayer; also playable in free mode
>Chao Garden Sim on the side, also makes use of the Adventure mini games: as challenges to gather animals and rings
