A few are. But its a new team and a new company...
And losing Looking Glass wasn't just about thief. They were the msot innovative first-person game developer in the industry... Ultima Underworld, Thief, System Shock, etc... and also made great games in other genres... :(
At least System Shock 2's developer, Irrational, managed to survive... they made Freedom Force, remember, and are now working on Tribes 3. When I first heard that I thought 'Irrational? TRIBES? Why waste a great developer like them on a multiplayer FPS?" But the game actually looks great... since it'll have a REAL single player game... AND the story will actually fit into the Earthsiege/Starsiege universe that the games are set in! I thought Sierra would just make another multiplayer FPS... so seeing that new was great. ONE Sierra series that existed before 1999 seems to be back, for one game at least... even if you won't be piloting Mechs (er, sorry, "Hercs"...).
