Very interesting thread but it appears fairly certain Vivendi could care less about adventure games. Take a look at what this company has released in its history. See any adventure games on that list? You can't count the half hearted effort called "collections" It seems all that amounts to is a repackaging without any serious effort. It appears the fan base for those old games, ( GK, KQ, SQ, etc ) are alive and well. For whatever reason Vivendi attributes no value to that. Perhaps they see the fan base as a vocal minority with numbers that will not support a profitable venture in extending any of those series. Perhaps Vivendi simply does not like adventure games. Perhaps they are simply short sighted. What I see as accurate is that Vivendi's actions suggest they bought the Sierra brand for the name only and not to continue the previous product line.
It appears fan game designers of these series would be best served to create new games with new characters and move on. The message to adventure gamers couldn't be any louder or clearer "Vivendi does not care about adventure games." Do what I do support companies who produce games that you want. Vivendi is not worth the time or space this thread had given them.
