Sierra has actually already sold a few of their IPs to other companies.

They sold the Goldrush IP back to the designers that made the game.


Apparently Mark Seibert was able to gain the rights to Pepper's Adventures in Time IP as he offers the game for free on his site.

They sold the IP to the online game  "The Realm" to another company that keeps it alive.


As a side note there are certain games that Sierra never owned the IP's for so they can't rerelease the games(black cauldron for example).
Well, ya, King's Quest is on Earth. Daventry is very old city from a long time ago. It's in ruins now and people aren't quite sure exactly where it used to be. There are some archaeologists searching through the ruins, they think they know its Daventry. But its somewhere on Earth."-Roberta Williams http://kingsquest.wikia.com/wiki/File:Daventryisearth.ogg

Oh, ya valve was able to buy the rights to the Half-Life IP from Sierra. But then again that might be because they are the designers that came up with the IP.

What you want Vivendi to pay you to take the King's Quest IP off their hands?

I think you meant, "I can pay with Visa, Mastercard and Paypal".  :suffer: :suffer:

Why not?  I'll be sure to make good use of it. ;P

The money or the IP? :P Besides, I thought you all were going to be done with KQ after TSL. And so many people are used to TSL, that changing it back to KQIX: ECHASL might not be the best thing to do. :P

Yeah, I was just joking. :P  Still, it would be fun to own. XD
