I’m wondering if anyone knows anything about when Sierra Online was going to bring The Realm to AOL…
…
My recollection is that all of the discussions with AOL took place AFTER TSN/INN was sold to AT&T.
INN may have owned The Realm completely.
Here’s what happened:
1) Sierra founded TSN alone
2) In approx. 1995 we sold half to AT&T
3) The two companies feuded endlessly
4) We resolved it by selling all of TSN to AT&T, with a royalty agreement to Sierra on games we would produce
5) The press release you quote is confusing to me, in that at the time, I don’t believe Sierra had an ongoing economic interest in ‘The Realm’, although I guess we did — and I’ve forgotten it.
