Any Activision IP you'd like to see revived under Microsoft?

I’m hoping for a Sierra Online renaissance.

I wrote Sierra a letter as a kid and they wrote me back encouraging me to go to school for Computer Science so I could maybe work with them one day.

Did that ever get 11 year old me excited.

And I went to school for computer engineering…and Sierra vanished.

I hope Microsoft brings Sierra back.

Microsoft isn’t going to revive anything. I don’t understand how people still think that Microsoft will improve things when they have such a poor track record for their current studios.

MS revived the beloved Banjo-Kazooie franchise with the hit Nuts and Bolts. Surely we can see more continuations of abandoned IPs! (/s)

Banjo-Kazooie wasn’t abandoned. MS purchased Rare 2 years after Banjo-tooie released.

MS had pretty much abandoned all of the great Rare IPs.

The Nuts and Bolts devs have to be suicide watch these days considering Tears of the Kingdom’s success.

They brought back battletoads so never say never. They definitely need to unfuck whatever is going on in their studios management wise though. Too many duds and games stick in development hell

Hehe, 9 year old me teaching myself Turbo Pascal from library books in an effort to learn how to make my own computer games. I was shamelessly ripping off Battletoads with my own game called “Body Building Frogs”
