- I wish I knew. Presumably this new Sierra office will be handling
- euro-distribution and support for Sierra products (barring existing
- agreements with euro-publishers). If so, then it's reasonable to assume
- that it will handle distribution of Sierra affiliates as well, including
- Dynamix as they have Beemer versions to distribute after-all. This is
- where my speculation comes in. Is it not possible, since this new U.K.
- office would likely have control over how they go about doing the ports,
- that they could get permission to port Dynamix titles? Anyone know the
- status of Dynamix's relationship with Sierra?
