Sierra died years ago. Of course this dismemberment is sad, but... this wasn't Sierra, this was another company just calling itself Sierra. Sierra is gone... though I will admit that it was kind of nice to see them bring back a few franchise names recently, even so. Sierra died years ago. Seeing this thing dragging itself around calling itself "Sierra" while doing things like making an Aces game... a rail shooter has been kind of cruel (sure it's a good rail shooter, but it's a rail shooter!).
And, of course, there's that little "Sierra/VUG has had problems for years (financially, etc)" issue that is the whole reason this happened in the first place...
But anyway, sadly, I think the article is right, someone's probably going to resurrect Sierra again. It's inevitable. The question is, how?
