(re: Vivendi Games Cuts Work Force (including former Sierra office)) This makes me angry… I really thing that lately corporations feel that they can just produce junk and think that we, the buying public, will just lap it up. I really miss the days when imagination counted for something in the computer game business but also when imagination counted for something in general.
Everything coming out of the computer game industry lately seems to be a clone there is very little inventiveness in the industry any more. I will say though that every now and then a great twist on an idea or a new idea comes out, like Knights of the Old Republic, but by and large everything seems to just be a clone!
Hopefully we’re just in a slow period and some real inventiveness and imagination will bleed back into the industry. In my opinion it is sorely in need of it!
I hope that some good ultimately comes out of the Vivendi decision. I know that we all are because I think Sierra deserves some good luck!
