Ubisoft gets Massive/World in Conflict... Brutal Legend all that's left

So now Ubisoft has bought former Vivendi Games development studio Massive and its RTS property World in Conflict. Which means the only significant property from Sierra (Vivendi's main gaming label) not yet bought by somebody else is "Brutal Legend." Well, there's also "Leisure Suit Larry," but as I told the one fan who wrote and asked about that, I think it's unlikely any other publishers are interested.

It's kind of ironic, since "Brutal Legend" probably had the most outspoken and excited fan base of any of the former Sierra titles. But devoted fans do not a mass market hit make. So it still remains to be seen whether another publisher will take a chance on Double Fine's next project. The word has been quiet since MTV dropped out in August. Here's an updated list of the rest of the Sierra properties and their new publishers:

-Ghostbusters: Atari
-Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena: Atari
-50 Cent: Blood on the Sand: THQ
-World in Conflict: Ubisoft

There are also a few licenses formerly at Sierra that Activision Blizzard didn't pick up, most notably "Scarface" and the Robert Ludlum estate (primarily the Jason Bourne books) that have reverted back to their owners and are looking for new homes. Though I understand at least one of them may already have a deal done. I just don't know with who.
