I thought we all agreed that IPLY doesn't give a shit about PC anymore so why shouldn't they sell the Fallout 3 PC license? It's correct that Tim Cain asked for it and was rejected but that may very well be due to personal stuff or the amount of money he offered.

Well, they split Fallout Enforcer's story in to two parts so they could make a sequel out of the second half of the story. What's that tell you?
That the corpse of interplay will be reanimated again and again nomatter how many times it shoots itself in the foot or metaphorically jams a nuclear payload up it's left nostril? Much like a flesh golem. :dance:

I had no idea about the story, but im sure thats true ... But did the 1st part really sell that well to generate a possible sequel??

The sequel was probably planned long before FOBOS shipped. But, you know, that's Interplay and their crazy chance-taking schemes. Generic action games for consoles, they're rebels!

Yeah, but then they'll stick the Fallout name on it.

That could explain the whole Fallout 3 thing.. They know fans want a Fallout 3, Silver Style goes to them with The Fall.. Interplay agrees to publish under the name Fallout 3, and..

Crap, I think I just pissed myself thinking about that.
