That'd be back in 1998 wouldn't it Saint? Back when the share price was high.

Maybe there's some correlation there?

Well, I do think going public was the worst possible thing for Interplay to do, and they have seem to declined in nearly every area since then. I think one of the reasons Titus bought up all those shares of Interplay was to establish more credibility, because Interplay didn't really have too many truly awful games from the 1980s through the time they went public. Only Descent to Undermountain comes to mind. Of course, Interplay did make some bonehead choices, like turning down publishing Doom 2.

And fucking up their relationship with Bioware and losing NWN.

You may not LIKE the game, but it's been a hell of a money spinner for Atarigrames. (what?

)

Yea, NWN was crap but it sold a lot, and the SECOND expansion pack is coming out this summer I believe.

And they lost BG.
