Interplay survives a lawsuit

Post by Mr. Teatime »

<strong>[Company -> Update]</strong>

Sad but true, according to <A href="http://ragingbull.lycos.com/mboard/boar ... 1203">this post on Raging Bull</a>.<blockquote><i>On October 19, 2004 the California Superior Court dismissed the legal action of Knight Bridging Korea Co., Ltd ("KBK") filed on September 16, 2002 against the Company and its subsidiary GamesOnline.com, Inc., ("GOL") and granted a judgment to Gamesonline.com, Inc in the cross-complaint from GOL against KBK. The dismissed KBK complaint for $98.8 million was alleging, among other things, breach of contract, misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of fiduciary duties and breach of implied covenant of good faith, in connection with an Electronic Distribution Agreement dated November 2001 between KBK and GOL. The granted judgment against KBK in the cross-complaint is for recovery of $700,000 for KBK's breach of contract. A motion for recovery of Gamesonline.com Inc's legal fees is being filed.</i></blockquote>I'm not exactly sure what <b>Gamesonline.com</b> is about. Briefly <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ga ... oogling</a> it shows that, in the <b>Brian Fargo</b> days at least, it was a part of <b>Interplay</b>. The important information here is that <b>Interplay</b> got lucky.

This website (as of August 31st, 2001) shows that Calvin Morrell (President of GamesOnline.com, Inc.) was on Interplay's board of Officers.

Whether or not he was still on the Board when the lawsuit came up in 2002, or wtf GamesOnline even did, or even how Interplay is associated with the lawsuit, remains to be told.

Still, that has nothing to do with the Caens brothers and their fucking-up of Interplay, does it? :?
