i dont think that "herve caen" can gather up same team from old interplay, working on the game -> the fallout just wont be fallout.
edit: oh wops sorry, hadnt finished article..i didnt know scamers can go this far..

Interplay is still technically a company aren't they? I don't think this is a scam, this guy really believes that he will get that funding and create this MMO and make it profitable and save Interplay, or something. Interplay is such a sad story, they published some of my all time favorite games. I used to equate the Interplay logo as being synonomous with a quality game. In fact, there were a few times that I bought a game soley on the fact that the Interplay Logo was on the cover. Games like Descent, Freespace, Die by the Sword, Hardwar, Planescape Torment, M.A.X., Wasteland, Sacrifice, The Star Trek games, BattleChess, The Lost Vikings, etc. These were great games by a then great company. But I think they really started to lose it after Descent to Undermountain. God that game was crap, and that the first game that really shook my faith in that company. Then there was Kingpin, which didn't help either.

In any case, I used to have hope that could someone emerge from their financial disasters but I doubt it now. Especially with garbage like this SEC filing, which is a joke.

..just read the "petition" or whatever.. parts like

DUE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF A POST NUCLEAR APOCALYPTIC WORLD RESULTING FROM THE COLD WAR (1945-1990), ALL CONSUMERS 20 AND OLDER WILL HAVE SOME TIES TO FALLOUT AND WILL BE INTRIGUED TO FIND OUT IN THIS VIRTUAL WORLD: "AND WHAT IF THE NUCLEAR WAR REALLY HAD HAPPENED?" [/b]

um, fine lets say advertisment..or

REACH 1 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS DURING THE FIRST YEAR

- PROFITABLE YEAR 2

- REVENUE OF 160M$ PER YEAR AFTER FIRST

- NET INCOME OF OVER 50M$ PER YEAR STARTING YEAR 3[/b]

yeah, thats indeed very speculative and quite complex plan.


well ok, maybe not scam. ok, maybe he realy realy means it. And maybe his leading skills are better than his..english. and maybe he ll seriously get $75,000,000 out of nowhere. from his "sponsors". but he wont get any support, cause it was him who ruined the interplay, one of best companies ever. he wont get any support from fans. they hate him actually. and honestly, after what has he done to interplay i wouldnt sign it niether.
