Both sam and max and full throttle have been cancelled as they said that adventure games just arent as viable any more. Its a damn shame as games are almost all identical with little inovation.
But I suppose they saw how the latest broken sword did and thought against making more.

I don't think Adventure Games aren't viable. They simply make less money than other genres.
I have no doubt that the SAM & MAX game would have been profitable. The suits at LucasArts, however, probably had a conversation that went something like this:
Developer: "Sam & Max is going great. The story telling, graphics, humor and originallity in this game are going to set the industry on it's ear!"
Finance Manager: "Great, how much will it make?"
Developer: "Sales Projections show that we should sell about 5 million copies."
Finance Manager: "Really? Nevermind. We'll just slap a Star Wars label on another piece of junk we have lying around here and sell 10 million."
