	Well, Sierra's excuse is that the B5 game wouldn't have been
profitable.  They claimed that they sunk so much money into the project
that they never would have gotten a return on the investment.  B5 is,
after all, a cult show with a small following.	There is a much larger
market for fishing and hunting games designed for morons who never
picked up a real fishing pole or firearm in their lives!

	Well, as of now I am no longer going to purchase any of Sierra's
products. If that is how they treat their customers and the people who
put the time and effort into designing games that was 99% finished, then
I am not going to give them a red cent.   

	Pity, I was so looking forward to purchaing a copy of Homeworld.

	As someone who played the demo at GenCons 97-98, I agree.
