Sierra, a brand I grew up with, is likely to be dropped, and many say that’s not a bad thing.
I have a lot of nostalgia for the Sierra brand. I first started my PC gaming career with games like the King’s Quest series and, even better, the Quest for Glory series. In its prime, Sierra consistently released fun games.
That all ended when the founders sold it. I lost track after a while of who owned the brand. There were a few good games that came out on that label, but they weren’t that common. As the founder says in the interview, I just didn’t know what Sierra stood for anymore.
So, as much as it pains me, I have to agree that Sierra must go. It’s either that or start limiting the branding to fewer, actually good, games. In truth, this should have happened about a decade ago.
