I’m hoping for a Sierra Online renaissance.

I wrote Sierra a letter as a kid and they wrote me back encouraging me to go to school for Computer Science so I could maybe work with them one day.

Did that ever get 11 year old me excited.

And I went to school for computer engineering…and Sierra vanished.

I hope Microsoft brings Sierra back.

    How about Earthworm Jim or Blast Chamber? OR bring back True Crime as a new GTA competitor in Unreal Engine 5. I didn’t realize Sierra was connected to Activision. Police Quest 2 was one of THE games of my childhood. I can’t even fathom how they would bring back Police Quest and not have it suck for a million reasons, but that’d be a dream. Or a proper new SWAT, finally.

      @giddy I’d love to play Warcraft 4 or Starcraft 3 but I don’t think Blizzard still has the ability to make a good RTS. It seems like most of the people who worked on these games have left.

          F2P. Eeewwwwww.

          We will never get the greatness that was Warcraft 3 again. That game single handedly killed the genre for single player because no one could compete ever again. It was amazing. Still is. Warcraft 4 has an insane bar to overcome.

    Microsoft isn’t going to revive anything. I don’t understand how people fill think that Microsoft will improve things when they have such a poor track record for their current studios.

      MS revived the beloved Banjo-Kazooie franchise with the hit Nuts and Bolts. Surely we can see more continuations of abandoned IPs! (/s)

        The Nuts and Bolts devs have to be suicide watch these days considering Tears of the Kingdom’s success.
