Vivendi are the US Distributor for Empire
Sierra are owned by Vivendi
Therefore it's not only unsuprising - but could have been predicted that
Sierra would be the US distributor for WSC.
I had this on exceedingly good authority.

Why? I just told you - Sierra will be distributing WSC in the US as Sierra
are a part of Vivendi - Empire's US Distributor.

Who was that, then ? Mr. Kipling ?
At weekends, his name is Chris.

hmm
well - WSC is so much more open ended than GPL 72 could ever be. You could
happily simulate the 1972 F1 season within WSC - and then a moment later -
try something else without a different title.
imho - GPL 72 is the vapourware title of the two.

Seriously, good to hear this thing cleared up. No demo required, I'll
buy it anyway. Will be nice inspiration for my own sim. :) (it is
already)
