spubiga Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 At least the Seattle/Bellevue location. According to the person who emailed me (this person works there), Leisure suit larry will be their last title from this studio. No word yet on what happens with HL2 or other Sierra titles (think Blizzard). For more info, check out f*ckedcompany.com (replace the * with a u for those who have never heard of this site) And here's the CNN Money/Game Over article with more info: http://money.cnn.com/2004/06/21/technology/vugames/index.htm Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark E Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Wow, it's hard to know how I feel about this. On the one hand, Sierra is hardly the studio it used to be these days, having long ago lost the spark that made it one of the founders of the PC gaming scene. On the other, that spark really meant something to me. I wouldn't be the hardcore gamer I am now without the likes of the King's Quest series, Space Quest series, Gabriel Knight, Leisure Suit larry, Quest For Glory, and so many others. Geeze, like a little bit of my childhood shutting down there. Strange nostalgia, especially for a company that is, like I said, really not much of anything these days but a distributor.

JoeyN Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Yep when i first got into PC gaming it was all about the Sierra games. Space quest was and will always be my favorite game series. KQ, PQ, LSL and a bunch of others were excellent as well. Not to mention they made some kick ass pinball games capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daisy Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 From what I read earlier today, it sounded like Blizzard was the only company that would be left untouched. It was sad to see what happened to Sierra. I have very fond memories of the Space Quest series. Those were some of my favorite gaming moments when I was getting into PC gaming.

CaptainRon Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Thanks for the explanation. I would have figured Blizzard to make a lot of money but i wasn't sure how everything was set up. Thanks again, stupid newb :bang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
