I was suprised to learn this, so I figured I would fire up
my web browser to see if it was true. I could only find corporate info
at the Blizzard site, which claims that CUC Software owns both Blizzard
and Sierra. So from what I have seen, it appears that Blizzard and
Sierra Online or two branches of the same corp., rather than Blizzard
being a branch of Sierra.
