Well this isn't really news, however it is an interesting editorial which you can read in full at MGON. Heres a piece of the editorial:

Currently the fan base is in the throes of agony over Sierra’s latest decision, which unless you missed it, was to disband the current development team then redesign the game. While this obviously will set back the timetable for release, it also seemed to destroy something even more important. It is called imagination. According to the grape vine (I won’t mention names because it would not be in their best interest) the ideas presented by the current developers were just too radical! That’s right, it seems that the current developers went so far out on a limb Sierra just had no choice but to cut them loose. Well, to be fair Sierra has not officially commented on the direction the new dev team will focus on, but everything indicates the latest incarnation (this will be Sierra’s third attempt) will try to target the perceived mainstream. So, instead of looking for new and innovative product, we will most likely be looking at the Ultima Online 2 killer.
