Brian Fargo joins Turbine Entertainment

[Kreegle]

<strong>[ -> N/A]</strong>

Do you remember this man?<blockquote><center><img src="http://www.duckandcover.net/news/brianf ... ckquote>No? Why, that's <b>Brian Fargo!</b> Founder and ex-CEO of <a href="http://www.interplay.com" target="_blank">Interplay</a>, designer of <a href="http://www.duckandcover.net/wasteland/a ... steland</a>, he's a big player. Remember what happened to him when <a href="http://www.titusgames.com/" target="_blank">Titus</a> came along and bought the majority slice of Interplay? Mr. Fargo, CEO, was given "reduced responsibilities" (he was supposed to make the coffee and pass around the sandwiches), so he resigned in a dramatic rush.


And now he's gone to <a href="http://www.turbinegames.com/" target="_blank">Turbine Entertainment</a>, makers of the popular MMORPG, <a href="http://www.asheronscall.com/" target="_blank">Asheron's Call</a>! Oooer, or something. According to <a href="http://www.evilavatar.com" target="_blank">Evil Avatar</a> (where this story was snatched from) the guys at Turbine are quite happy about the deal:<blockquote><em>Jeff Anderson, president of the company, stated that they're excited about this and that Turbine definitely will benefit from his experience.</em></blockquote>There you go - there <b><i>is</b></i> life after Interplay! Hurray! There's hope for <a href="http://www.blackisle.com" target="_blank">Black Isle</a> yet!

Cool, now we'll see a post-apocalyptic MMORPG, or something.
At least it's good he got a job somewhere. Fry Titus, FRY!! :twisted:
