    If this is a genuine move to re-establish the ethos and spirit of the old Sierra, then I'm all for it, and will wait with keen anticipation .... and the hope that it isn't Steam-dependent (or similar).

    If, on the other hand, it's a cynical marketing move to leverage the largely well-respected Sierra name and brand, then

    Only time will tell, but I'm crossing everything crossable and hoping for the former.

    Maybe a new version of FEAR... and who knows? And if not for Sierra, we wouldn't be begging for HL3... anything's possible... not likely, but possible.

    As for cynical marketing ploys... Black Isle? Haven't seen anything from them yet...
