[Community -> Update]

The results of the last poll:<blockquote>Does BIS stand a chance now that all of the recognisable figure-heads are gone?
 
 <li>Stand a chance? I guess so. There's always a *chance* = 395 votes</li>
 <li>Nuh-uh girlfriend, they are DOOMED. DOOMED. DOOMED. = 287 votes</li>
 <li>Of course, a company isn't made up of just the figure-heads, it's the people behind the scenes. = 258 votes</li>
 <li>I know nothing about it, so I'm not going to pretend to have an opinion. = 237 votes </li>
 <li>Ahahaha - they never stood a chance! *hic* = 226 votes</li>
 <li>Hmm, now that all of the "well-known" talent has departed, I have my doubts about BIS' future... = 215 votes</li></blockquote>Interesting in hindsight, eh?

Well, we have too see the positive stuff about this.
Atleast, the Baldurs Gate, Icewind Dale and Neverwinter Nights fans will also be depressed the rest of their days. Not just us Fallout Fans.

Neverwinter Nights was a Bioware game by the way. Actually its also kind of nice for the IWD and BG fans since both series were officialy closed and it means no new games that can fuck up the story lines or setting. Im actually kind of happy about it truth be told. Better to go now when Interplay can pay them than later when it cant.

You guys should check the response to the death of Black Isle/Fallout 3 all over the web. People are really fucking pissed everywhere.

Oh well...there's always S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

I suppose I don't count because I'm rabidly joyous?

At the inquirer a major news site.
http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=13091

Everyone I know bought a copy of BG, BG2, and most owned Fallout. Guess no one will be buying Fallout 3.

What can I say, I am speechless. No, I am not. Let me catch my breath.

Moronic, myopic, management driven by an insatiable urge to dumb down everything to barely interactive cutscenes. Profiteering monkeys with no sense of art, style or class. Stupid stupid stupid. Really stupid. The few games involving thinking that I was looking forward to next year just went away, looks like more twitch games for me. Oh yeah, football games too, yay?

Unless Interplay can come up with a great reason for perpetrating this heinous act, I will wistfully long for the day that the company goes under. With great management like this, it probably wonÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t be long. Video games are becoming thoughtless cookie cutter stampings, and people wonder why the industry is in a rut.

Wonder no more, decisions like this are the reason.

I voted I don't give a shit.

Because I don't. If Fo3 is made, all good and well. If it isn't we still have other, better games coming out soon.
