(re: Whoa whoa WHOA!!!) How much do you reckon would one have to pay to acquire the Sierra name and full slate of intellectual properties? I mean, it’s all been driven into the ground so much these last five years, by now you could probably acquire the above for pocket money (relatively speaking, of course). And with the losses being what they are, I’m not sure VU would hold out very long if a prospective buyer suddenly came knocking.

Of course, fans wouldn’t accept you if you didn’t also get all the old names involved – the Williamses, the Coles, Al Lowe, Jim Walls, the Two Guys from Andromeda, etc. Otherwise you might as well be making big-budget fangames with an eye on ripping off other peoples’ hard work.
