All I have to add is anectdotal evidence, but I was shocked to learn about it being in development, and did not even hear about it til maybe 2 months before it was released.
I would never have heard another peep either, if I hadn't followed the forums after that.

Fair enough. All you'd have to do is look back on various gaming magazines to see that TOEE was adverysied well. When i say well; I don't mean GTA well; but I mean like soldily. Most games don't get tv ads and the ones that do are big time mass appeal ones like EA's sports games or GTA, or othe Sims. Heck, only one BIO game has had a tv ad and that's KOTOR1 and we all know why. Heck, in fact, only the x-box version had a tv ad; the PC version had nothing (well, other than the built in hype from being the same game :D ).
Games tend to be hyped only through gaming magazines, the internet, and word of mouth. TV ads are reserved to the Fortunate Few.

In Poland full-page (or sometimes double-page) ToEE ads were frequently published in all gaming magazines. But we're a small market...

Yep, you were definitely right, there's no mention of Shiny Entertainment anywhere on the box for MDK2. Not sure where I got the idea they developed it.

Unfortunate but not unexpected.
