I just e-mailed Sierra...

in Zocalo v2.0
I just e-mailed sierra and let them know that even now, 4 years laler, I, and thousands of others, have not forgotten that they canned B5-ITF, that I have not purchased a game made by sierra since they canned it, and have no intention of doing so.
Then it hit me. We should ALL do this, every year on the annaversary of ITF's canning, until the day Sierra is dead.
You know, just to remind them how much they screwed up. :)
(Oh, if you e-mail them, don't mention the mods/freeware projects, just in case)

I Agree. We should remind them that we will never forget and forgive what they did.
I guess we should make list of e-mail addresses where to remind them.

hmmm....
Most of the people who were involved with the ITF cancellation aren't even at Sierra anymore.
[B]What are you hoping to accomplish by doing this?

I expect nothing from this whatsoever.
I expect to be bloody annoying to Sierra though, and just simply reimind them how badly they screwed up. Hey, who knows, maybe it will reach the right ear. But I expect nothing.
[B]Farscape. Literal tons of emails and letters protesting the cancellation got them something... but not exactly what they wanted. A miniseries to end the show isn't nearly as good as the show itself. Considering how niche this game is (both Babylon 5 and space sim are limited markets), and how little respect Sierra has shown for it in the past, I don't know if we want to risk getting a low-budget crapfest. [/B][/QUOTE]
I wouldn't worry about Sierra releasing a Babylon 5 game. They can't. Warner Brothers would never sell them a B5 license after what they did with ITF.
And without the license, they can't legally release a B5 game.
And so the circle is closed. But don 't forget:
Not Sierra Online canceled B5 ITF. Just Havas Interactive / Vivendi Universal cancled Babylon 5 Into the Fire.
Only one question at this time:
What is going on with Sector 14 ??? I really have to know that. :)

Nothing they can really say at the moment...

A mini-series, especially with the possibility of a feature film, is *NOT* a bad thing. Also, I see no reason to prejudice oneself against a miniseries. The main issue with most fans at the present is not that it was canned, but why and how. It was abrupt, it was without reason (at the time). Suddenly, it was gone, cut off at critical episodes which I refuse to see until I can be assured of conclusion. I don't want to suffer again like I did with Space: Above and Beyond, nor do any other fans. All that's really needed is just simple closure, or just *Something* to make peace with.

I think sending them a nice reminder on the anniversary would be a good idea. Let them know that we're still thinking of them ;)

The correct answer is "[COLOR=green]Green[/COLOR]".
(they probably have about a dozen or so filters to delete anything B5 related)

Ok, so some of the details are a little off but the message is the same.

so i support the emails but NOT the boycotting
drat. :(
The people responsible for ITFs cancellation have long since left Vivendi.
There are a lot of good games out there from Vivendi, made by a lot of hard-working developers who had nothing to do with ITF's cancellation.
Nothing you do will bring back ITF in any way, shape or form. Time to move on.
And it has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that all they offer for my platform is [url=http://www.sierra.com/search_results.do?keyword=&genre=all&platform=mac&x=61&y=5]sub-shareware level crap that was made five years ago[/url]. Not a whit.
[B]Thus my lack of a boycott against Sierra. Why punish the good developers for something they're not responsible for? (Valve, Relic, etc) [/B][/QUOTE]
Did I mention that part of my boycott is the fact that sierra hasen't released a single game I am remotly interested in since...well..half life 1...
