Not sure how this whole MMO deal panned out, but they should definitely still be allowed to publish the old games they created. |

Yeah I agree, if they created the old games they should be able to publish them still. I loved the original Fallout Series, specially Fallout 2 or was it 3? the top down isometric view, only ran at 640x480 or maybe 800x600.. ahh teh memories. Also the Brotherhood of steel was a good one too which came a few years later. The new one is ok but still cant beat the original top down view style. |

I bought that too, but Tactics wouldnt work. Kept telling me to put in the CD while it was already in there. But 1 + 2 dont require the disc so they were free.

Re: The MMO. Bethesda bought the rights to Fallout from Interplay. As part of the agreement, Interplay retained the rights to develop an MMO based in the universe, and I think some of the other property rights where tied to this. However, there was a clause that Interplay had to demonstrate that development was progressing by a certain date otherwise all rights went to Bethesda. This is what the court case was (initially) over, from what I understand |

Interesting. I guess they went overtime then? Still, why bring up the sale of the old games? Unless the details of them owning the franchise were far from clear. |
