Looks like the world is shaking over at Vivendi-Universal....

Snagged from Gamasutra:

[b]Vivendi Universal Games Names Kenneth Cron CEO [/b]
Vivendi Universal Games, comprised of Blizzard, Sierra, Universal Interactive Studios and the Flipside Network, has named a new CEO. Kenneth Cron, formerly CEO of Flipside, takes over for Hubert Joly who had been filling a duel role as Vivendi Universal Games CEO and Senior Vice President, North American Integration, at Vivendi Universal. Cron will oversee and direct the games division's global strategy while looking to advance the division's development of key brand franchises, focusing on the strategic objectives of cross-platform distribution, global expansion and the development of online subscription-model content.

    They wouldn't release that old demo of ItF just out of good will, would they?

    OK, new plan:

    Rick, you apply for and get the job of CEO of Havas/Vivendi/today's name. You then make an informed decision that the B5 IP should all be sold to the highest bidder whose company name is Sector 14 Studios. You then force Sierra to accept and enact this decision. You then decide to give that company $20 million as a "gift of goodwill". No more problems!
    So off you go, Rick! You've got a lot of work to do!
