They should give Ken and Roberta Williams the rights to all the old Sierra games and let them realize them for new platforms. I really wish I could play them on my iphone. Sierra was my reason for learning how to program on the PC. I will miss the name if it ceases to exist. It's sad.

Sierra games taught me to type, and into computing. I was a rabid fan for most my formative years, until they lost their way with 3-D adventures. Kings Quest 8? Terrible. But still, I found myself playing anything even remotely related to the old sierra greats. Even Magna Cum Laude. Terrible to see them reduced to so little...but what will this mean for fan creations such as Kings Quest 9? [http://www.tsl-game.com/] Sad. Sierra games taught me to type, and into computing.

The game's got to be one of the biggest Activision Blizzard has going right now. I never doubted Ghostbusters would stick around.

I'm looking forward to that game. 50 Cent? meh... not so much. http://arstechnica.com/journals/thumbs.ars/2008/07/29/ghostbusters-cancelled-not-so-fast Well the good news is that it seems that Sierra has stepped up and said that, atleast, Ghostbusters is not on the chopping block.

Everything else should go under a more promoted label like Activision.

This was not to much earlier than when the atrocious King's Quest: Mask of Eternity hit the shelves (1996-1997). When money drives the business, most of the joy, fun, and emphasis are squeezed out in order to increase the bottom line.
