Saint_Proverbius talks about the problems the game faces and will face due to the hacked version that is making its way through the net: Basically, it's like this. Sierra is sitting on a finished game to prevent warez originally, but that backfired. It backfired in a major way. Instead of boosting sales, like a World Wide Release is supposed to do, it's costing them sales. The longer they wait, the more people download the game. The longer it takes the game to come out, the more of those people will lose interest in the game, if they even intended to buy it in the first place. At this point, a waiting for the World Wide Release is doing them more harm than good. The damage is basically done. The best thing they can do at this point is go full master production and let that puppy out. There's no reason they shouldn't, other than the fact they can't come to grips with the reality that they made a good decision that went horribly astray.
