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.

    @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.

          I loved WC3 but I do think it strayed from its RTS roots a little far for me. SC2 was the pinnacle in my opinion even if the story wasn’t up to the standards of SC/BW.

          WC3 was Blizzards first foray into RPG. The bonus campaign that came with TFT was literally the prototype for WoW

        I don’t see any mention of single player campaign…
