I'm hoping for a Sierra Online renaissance.

I wrote Sierra a letter as a kid and they wrote me back encouraging me to go to school for Computer Science so I could maybe work with them one day.

Did that ever get 11 year old me excited.

And I went to school for computer engineering....and Sierra vanished.

I hope Microsoft brings Sierra back.

How about Earthworm Jim or Blast Chamber? OR bring back True Crime as a new GTA competitor in Unreal Engine 5. I didn't realize Sierra was connected to Activision. Police Quest 2 was one of THE games of my childhood. I can't even fathom how they would bring back Police Quest and not have it suck for a million reasons, but that'd be a dream. Or a proper new SWAT, finally.

Oh good yes, Earthworm Jim was pure 90s whackiness

Would love Earthworm Jim or MDK reboots but I think those are under Infogrames / Interplay not Activision?

Yeah in 2006 Sierra got bought out by Vivendi, I think, which later merged with Activision killing all of younger me's dreams.

Sierra was a huge part of my childhood.
