Note: I'm not talking about among members of the Codex or adventure game fans. You guys, and the adventure game community at large, obviously remembers and loves Sierra's games. I'm talking about your casual gamer who is between say 25 and 45.
It just seems to me that LucasArts, as a nostalgically remembered adventure game studio, is remembered more, and more fondly to be more specific, than Sierra is. That LucasArts' IPs have a higher brand recognition among that group of people than Sierra's IPs do.
My questions are, do you agree that this is the case - That LucasArts is better remembered than Sierra? That their games have a higher level of brand recognition in today's gaming world as "retro" nostalgic games?
And the second part of this is, if this is the case, how and why did it happen? Sierra's adventure games always outsold LucasArts' - so when/where/how did the nostalgia shift from Sierra's games, which were the bigger hits, to LucasArts' games?
