Unless they win, cause then they'd have more money. But that's not likely going to happen.

Yea, good riddance and maybe someone legit (ie: Troika) will buy up the Fallout license.

Well Interplay brought me Fallout and Fallout 2 (even if they are destroying their game licenses i.e. FOBoS) so I'll just say goodbye and thank you for Fallout if they do end up going under, but I see no reason to feel sad to see them go after all the junk they've recently churned out.

All of the white on my computer monitor is sporatically changing an ugly yellow now. I think it's about to blow up...

Let's look ahead a little bit. Say Interplay tanks and no one snatches up them sweet, sweet licensing and copyrights. What then? Does that mean that you shmoes can sell your artwork and fanfics for cashmonies legit?

I'm actually a little sad about losing IPLY....I loved Descent....I loved FO...I liked Redneck Rampage...Well...I guess those are the only games that come to mind...But they were games with legacys...

All those games can get someone new and more capable than IPLY to continue their "Legacys". Give Troika :Fallout, Raven Software : Redneck Rampage, and I don't know who would be good for Descent.

Descent is dead..I don't even want to see a new one. I was so dissapointed with Descent 3...I actually threw that CD in the trash. But the first two games were wicked sweet. I also wouldn't mind if Redneck Rampage never came back...But it was really fun while I was waiting for GLDuke to be released.

And Fallout....I think maybe Piranha Bytes...They've got great RPGs...Nothing like Fallout...But I'm sure they'd put a shi-fuck load of effort into it, and it'd be amazing...They make the only RPGs I play (other than FO).

Well you gravepickers! They ain't dead yet.
