These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
YMMV: Sierra
Crowning Music of Awesome: Say what you will or won't about the variable quality of the games themselves, but the music in Sierra games (that came out once PC sound had evolved beyond boops and beeps) was consistently awesome.
Cult Classic: Even the games that came out in the early eighties still have a strong following.
Executive Meddling: What ultimately led to the company's virtual collapse after the 90s. After being purchased by Vivendi, the new executives closed Dynamix, (developer of the Aces series and other racing and combat simulations) and directed the company to abandon adventure game development entirely. Unfortunately, despite publishing a number non-adventure titles, this pretty much eliminated Sierra's main product as a developer, and the company never really recovered, until by the end of the 2000s Sierra effectively only existed as a label. Meddling immediately prior to the Vivendi buyout was also directly responsible for the utter mess that was Kings Quest Mask Of Eternity, and the lukewarm reception for Quest For Glory V, among the last adventure titles produced by the company.
