If I'm not mistaken, Vivindi owns or in some other way has ties with Sierra.

They own, and are trying to sell Sierra and Blizzard

As for Sierra et all... This sucks...

What's French for Duh?

Firestar

Yes, yay for anything bad for Vivendi. I've been really dissapointed in the results of the whole computer gaming industry being gobbled up by just a few companies. Shame it's not Hasbro though. They're the worst of them all.

Hmm....losses involving France. This is a change from normal events....how? ;)

No, Vivendi are the worst. It's their fault we don't have B5:ITF.

Firestar

True, but at least Sierra is still intact, which is more than can be said for poor Microprose.

And they also own USA Network, which in turn owns Scifi, which cancelled Farscape.

Firestar

Ah, well, don't have a TV, so I tend to just look at the computer gaming ends of things.

Biggles

Microprose got the better deal. They aren't reduced to producing games like Pro Bullrider, and instead can be remembered for the great games they did produce with an untarnished memory.

Vivendi can burn!
