Should we buy Interplay. Feel free to post your thoughts or ideas on the subject.

It'd be pretty funny/great if it happened, but it never will. Like Fallout fans have hordes of money?...Aside from the Jewish ones?

Actually, despite how nice the idea sounds of buying Interplay "or more importantly, the fallout license" you have to realize afew things about bussiness. If say 20% of the fallout community chipped in, you know how many people would receive ownership of the company? It'de be like slicing a pie into 1000 pieces. Even if we do decide who owns it by some weird reason, we have to realize, we wouldn't be able to agree on everything. Hell, the only things every fallout fan really agrees on is that Fallout is good roleplaying and FOBOS sucks. Then other problems come, such as developers and such, and as owners having to pay them. Company management isn't as easy as it seems. Still, I personally would rather see Fallout in our hands instead of some guy who is just going to use it for money.

What's the point? It's not like we'd do anything with it. Sounds like a waste of money.

This is a stupid, naive, optimistic idea with no actual chance of working.

Are you kidding? I'd make tons of terrible MS Paint pictures of guys humping deathclaws then call it "official Fallout concept art." That's what I call a merry fuckin' Christmas.

I doubt they would sell the fallout title to us now or in the near future because of the release of Fallout: Piece of Shit, at least 5,000 unlucky console gamers will buy the game thinking "hey it's fallout". They WILL NOT use the F: BOS money to finish Fallout 3, because (obviously) it was going to be a good game with at least a decent profit but the retards at Interplay thought "Must not make profit commence release of Shitty game on January 13." :shock: :shock: :shock:

We could buy the company, fire the Caens and Molitor, thus increasing the company value tenfold, and sell it again?
Sounds good for a quick buck.
