	THEY WEREN'T.  If they had been, they may have realized that they
are throwing out the entire premise that the previous four games in the
series was built on.  They are basically throwing away everything they've
already done in the series (and with the first two games, that was >a

mistake, and it >won't< work.  It makes me angry just thinking about it.
Sierra has sold out with every other series, but I honestly thought that
Quest for Glory might be spared.  Silly me.  As long as it makes them
money, why should Sierra care?  Let them do what they want.  I have better
things to waste my money on than their massive egos.
