Wow, I'd bet Koch Media is kicking themselves right now...

[BDSooner72]

I had to look them up to see what exactly they do.

Koch Media


2007: To date, 1 million copies of the successful series The King of Queens have been sold on DVD and Blu-ray in the German-speaking territory.
2011: Under its publishing label Deep Silver Koch Media scores its first number 1 hit with the game Dead Island.[5]

I loved Dead Island but "number 1 hit?"  Even the source was a bit odd.  The King of Queens bit was even more strange, like it was just tossed in the wiki for the heck of it.
