<br><blockquote><i>Earlier this year, the first signs of serious trouble started emerging when it was revealed that Interplay fell behind three months on paying the rent for its facilities and was facing eviction unless it magically came up with almost half a million dollars. In June, most people were asked to clear their desks and file for unemployment because the offices were shutting down. Interplay's parent company, French publisher/developer Titus, asked to be delisted from the Paris exchange in early June. In August, there was a legal dispute between Interplay and Vivendi regarding a breach of distribution agreement, claiming VUG withheld payments, although both parties reconciled a few months later without revealing the settlement terms. Technically, Interplay is still alive, after it has sold most of its assets, like passing on the Fallout franchise to Bethesda. </blockquote></i>We all know the story, but you can read the rest of the article <a href="http://goty.gamespy.com/2004/news/index6.html">here</a>, if you want.
