"A company of probably under 30 people delivered something that was one of the top-rated first-person shooters on all three platforms that it was released on with massive critical response. It performed well at retail, but we felt that it hadn't sold as well as it should've." Free Radical put the blame on Eidos, who the team felt did not hold up its part of the bargain well enough. "We were always saying to Eidos 'You didn't sell enough copies of it', and they would say 'But it was a big success!'. And our answer was 'It's not a big success. Don't tell us to aim lower than we've done before. GoldenEye was a big success, this is not as successful as GoldenEye'. It's that relationship you have with the publisher, it's your baby, but to them it's another cereal box – they have other things. Your interests are never exactly aligned." The series' three games were released between 2000 and 2005, with the first as an exclusive launch title for the PlayStation 2. Development on a fourth game is being undertaken by a reformed version of Free Radical, owned by Deep Silver, a subsidiary of Embracer Group. Perry, Douglass C. (18 March 2005).
