1st, wtf they said sierra abandoned us?
hhuuhh
yea uh, no
This I know to be bs off the bat, Roberta and Ken and well EVERYONE was sad, depressed and upset
hell roberta and ken even stopped everything though they could have made a new company, or games
they just went on their boat and lead a HAPPY life to get rid of the loss of their baby
(sierra.. not a real baby!)
roberta cried, ken made a pensive face for months, al lowe made bad jokes as thats his way of dealing with stuff making others or himself laugh(its my way of dealing with stuff too)
some departments didnt suffer the closure right away like the oakhurst facility(after it moved it became Yosemite entertainment as the HQ moved to washinton with broderbund) , that went away first..
some got angry and moved on to making games again, some just left
but NONE abandoned its fans, ever
...ever
Yes during the CUC merger they did SELL the company, but they had no clue what was going to happen with it, they remained and were not pleased with how things were going, so they just left, literally packed up and quit..
after that sierra, or the good people of the original company had nothing to do with CUC or its reasons for the "Cedant" bs happenings that lay in wait for all remaining
somehow all was just seen as a numbers game, there was huge net loss (which anyone should have seen would happen after such a merger) esp when the company was full of heart, and the sale of it to some corp without one grr .. ahh
so yea 99' bad year, loads lost jobs that even tried to STAY and not ABANDON.. they got fired.. doesnt sound like sierra abandoned anyone, roberta and ken tried to make sierra bigger, sold it to a corp who then raped everyone due to bad numbers, bottom line truly... sickk ahh that quote made me so upset
sick to say such a thing. whoever said it, ahh
rugged, as for him saying its his fav series of all time, good!
but really?
I have loads of games but not many have series in them
soo whats there to compare it to? other sierra games?
witcher?
idk
i like zork but im a nerd like that for text parser advents
but its a good sign
also found this quote which is awesome and again shows NO ABANDONMENT
"Sierra’s goal is to find and work with gifted up-and-coming indie developers working on their own amazing projects or who are passionate about working on great Sierra IP. We’re in talks with a large number of other indie devs, and we can’t wait to share more details with fans in the near future.>
sounds like the passion never left, so again I say YES and I cant wait and cheers for making it BACK! Even in a new form, like a caterpillar into a raging phoenix butterfly
