As Usual…
…Dan’s wrong. No one should shed a tear that Sierra is supposedly DOA, unless you were part of the group that got canned. Then ok, be sad. I hear ya. Sierra has only Sierra to blame for this kinda thing. Be sad when superb developing houses like Looking Glass and Papyrus shut down. But Sierra? I’m as nostalgic as the next fella about the glory days of Sierra, from their graphic adventures to their sports games. But Siera hasn’t been Sierra for years. Sierra’s sports series failed because Sierra Suits had NO IDEA how to handle and manage it.
Read this, and tell me why I should feel sorry for that company.
This is just part of the cycle that this industry is going through. Soon, all we’ll have are a couple of major publishers and anonymous developers selling us shitty games that lack any kind of innovation, avoiding risk taking for the same old schlok.
Oh, wait…
