Sierra Reorganized

19

The recent closing of Dynamix was the first sign of this, but Stomped has posted a press release announcing a major reorganization of Sierra On-Line. The announcement says that the company will be continuing development of their "key franchises" including Tribes, SWAT, and the ever-popular Hoyle's card game series. At this time the only known Tribes product in the works is the Playstation 2 title, with the status of a Tribes 2 add-on and sequel completely up in the air. Also included is word that 97 people were laid off with the closing of Dynamix, and a whopping 148 more will be let go from Sierra's Bellvue office. update: My apologies for using such a dorky word as whopping.

Steve Gibson is the cofounder of Shacknews.com. Originally known as sCary's Quakeholio back in 1996, Steve is now President of Gearbox Publishing after selling Shacknews to GameFly in 2009.
