I am new here, and i just went through subscribtion just so i could do some posting, hope none of it offending.I read ALL the posts on this thread, and wanted to tell you about Interplay, those paper shuffling pieces of...
They KEPT the rights and license to Fallout, in regard to some posts claiming otherwise.
Being a Law student myself, i dabble in the art, so i know what i am sayin when i am sayin that Interplay, a company with the business mind of a 5 year old (they didn't go with the 'barter' skill in the game
made some clever negociations with Beth Soft.They sold the license for ONLY a Fallout game with single player, maybe even with a lil bit of multiplayer, but retained the license for a MMORPG.If Beth strikes home with their game, because we will be blind to their elf and dwarf games and buy whatever Fallout they make (Tactics - we bought it didn't we?), Interplay will do a crap Fallout MMORPG with the original team, who are currently unnemployed, thus they are desperate for a chance to take a crack at Fallout.
So, Interplay hired some good pencil shovers and so they still plan to make some money off our gaming butts, while posing nude in bankruptcy.
Thank you for reading this loooong text.
