Adventure games in Germany

So, i was thinking, now that there's a specific forum for the international audience, why not place some interesting international questions, RE: Adventures? What i always found interesting is why this specific genre has flourished in Germany. My guess, it has to do with the PC/console market. For instance, I think (i could be wrong) that the PC Master Race is strong with our germanic friends. I seem to recall that the genre of old-school RPGs is similarly strong in Germany, as opposed to eastern, console-based RPGs. Any comments?

Or am i completely off and it's only me?

Yes. But why?
Not really helpful there

I did some digging around, aside from the aforementioned assumption (that germany is mostly PC, ergo, the adventure genre did not fall that much behind), i found out a particular piece of information: some of the most prestigious magazines (print magazines, yes, i know, it seems that the germans are pretty old school after all, that's awesome), like Power Play & ASM have journalists that have been favouring the adventure genre. Can that seep through and help shape the general disposition of the market? Furthermore, does that sound familiar?

If we have some german visitors, now is the time for you to step forward and help solve this conundrum
