Sierra Shutting Down Game Servers

[exfileme]

Sierra is shutting down a long list of dedicated gaming servers, including No One Lives Forever 2, Homeworld, Caesar IV and more. Is this a sign of financial hard times for Sierra, or standard procedure?

the list of games going offline are impressive! many of these games where considered pioneers in thier genre. I suppose this is revende for what sierra did to Origin... it's a harsh world, sad i guess...
but eventually, newer , younger studios will emerge and new title will come ^^ I can't wait!! ^^

These games weren't just awesome, they still are imo. I feel like replaying Homeworld/Cataclysm.. I wouldn't be able to do that if SecuCRAP was around back then!

Not really related to game servers, but I remember my first Sierra game, Betrayal at Krondor. Such a great game....

My first Sierra game which they later sold was The Realm. First MMORPG, and I would spend endless hours on that back in around 97.

Wow this sucks... I loved Tribes 2 and Swat 3 online in fact I was just thinking about reinstalling Tribes 2 again. Damn...

The first Sierra game I ever played was Space Quest - loved those quest games... stopped playing PC games after they went out of style.

...King's Quest ][ on the Apple //e... it took about 30 seconds every time you went from screen to screen to re-draw the new screen you'd gone to.

It was 'nearly' 3d back on a box with only 64K memory and a single 5.25" drive.

Holy Crap - I still have NOLF2 in the shrinkwrap! One of those games I never got around to playing, but bought because I liked the original game so much... Man, time flies!

Go play it, it's a good game. I never played the original so I can't compare them, but NOLF2 is one of my favourite FPS games.
