Not trying to start a stupid argument here, really. I'm just trying to understand your point, because I don't see what comparing Sierra to Blizzard has to do with anything.
I guess this post was the trigger to my other post.

Vivendi themselves may not develop games, but they've published F.E.A.R., SWAT4, Tribes Vengeance, World of Warcraft and The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. All of which were critically acclaimed.
Sierra and Blizzard where pretty much faounded at the same time, both produced very popular titles. Although they both where popular in their own genre.

Blizzard = The best of RTS
Sierra = The best of Adventure

So I guess you cant compare the companies based on what genre they make games for.
