 They continued to develop graphic adventures even after Sierra was sold to [[CUC Software International|CUC International]] in 1996.  In December 1997, CUC International merged with HFS Incorporated to become the Cendant Corporation.  After the Cendant book-cooking scandal in 1998, Sierra was sold to Havas S.A, which was purchased by Vivendi (renamed Vivendi Universal in 2000 and now known as Vivendi SA) the same year.  Sierra stopped producing adventure games in 1999.
