That sums it perfectly.
It would be one thing to start your BD line with an obscure title with the intention to keep releasing more titles despite how poorly your first release sells. But to say, you won't release a title that is known to more people, if your obscure debut title doesn't sell well just sounds like a poor business decision. The only way it could be thought of as being smart is if it was to try and force people to buy something they may not want, just to see Just Before Dawn released. I would really really love to have Just Before Dawn on Blu-Ray as it's one of my most wanted horror titles. But when I read that it's chance of release is based on the sales of a much lesser known title, that just turns me right off.
