When I said Sierra, I meant Vivendi of course :) It's the same as Atari / Infogrames (rich company using the name of a famous one). -- Pedro R. Quaresma Salvador Caetano IMVT Div.

Infogrames (now Atari) have announced they'll do the same, so I do not foresee a big future for them either. As much as I don't like this, the numbers support it: In 2003 there were about 5 million PC games sold -- and 50 million console games sold. Console games fuel the overwhelming majority of the 11 billion (!!) electronic entertainment industry.
