whats been seen so far, is just a part of an elaborate, genious marketing scheme. doors swingin in 4d. most complex hoax designed by man, in history.
so byzantine, that many groups, even some scenes will profit from it in unknown ways.

If so, I'm going to be impressed. Needless to say, I'm buying Interplay stock, if just to see what they do.

You're just jealous that my ideas get implemented whereas yours just suck.

That would be a cutting remark if I actually had any ideas. And if you didn't have the power to "implement" your ideas yourself.

I can't wait to travel through an internet-based wasteland! That'll be so...

Wait, I already do! It's called the Internet! Someone beat you to the punch Herve. I'd blame DARPA.

Does that make Pals an afterthought or something?

Wolf, have you actually looked at PALS? The question should answer itself : P

Almost, but not quite...

&) Fansites find out whom the investors are, point fingers, and laugh.
Ã¢â€žÂ¢) Investors and developers will come onto the forums with weak trolling attempts that would make the average AOLer sneer at the amaterurishness. They get flamed and run off to sites that are the equivalent of a Thai whore, "Suky, suky, five dollah, love you long time!" and all that while they continue upon their quixotic development schemes a la Chucky Cuevas or Dipshit Dragon.
cheese) The usual "you haven't played it" and "it could be done!" idiotic arguments spawn around, usually by people who have no clue, have no programming experience, have no MMOG development experience in both commercial and non-commercial games, and who don't have a clue to take it from people who DO have said experience. Take it from someone who has all that, and knows that a game in the setting of Fallout cannot and will never be done properly - take a look at how Ultima Online has been treated by EA. Interplay is worse. It isn't going to happen, kiddies.
WTFSAUCE?!) Interplay investors identify with the moronic pro-FOOL crowd that couldn't form a complete, coherent sentence, and follow the herd.
d) ???
v) PROFIT!!!$!!

Except that majority of people that still buy pc games buy mmos and other online games and few poeple that still can be arsed playing single player games download them instead of buying them.

Don't you have a bathtub to be found dead in somewhere, Haris?

Just think of emo suicide as abortion long past due.

That was all you could come up with? Just an insult? Guess it hurts to hear the truth.
