After the last episode I probably shouldn't care, but I do...

[A Black Falcon]

Caen sure talks big... now he's talking about a Fallout MMORPG. If it actually happens it could be great, but after the mass exodus of the good talent from Interplay, the major financial problems, and all that, I don't think the chances of it getting to the point where we can worry about how good the remaining Interplay people are at making games are are very high, unfortunately...

I don't get it. Caen comes in from Titus after buying the company. He prefers console to PC games so they cut back drastically on PC development. He kills off Black Isle and their two great looking RPGs because of some idiotic reasons and lets all of Black Isle's talent worth mentioning get away. But he talks optimistically about the future of Interplay all the time, no matter what new low the news about the company is... and then this? After destroying BG3 and Fallout 3? I don't know what to think, really... I think Interplay would be better off without Herve Caen, certainly. But... if after making so much effort to turn off the fans of Interplay's once-great lineup of PC RPGs, why is he moving back into that market? It's kind of strange.


I do know one thing, though.

Interplay will run out of funding if they can't come up with a bunch of cash, and that doesn't seem all that likely. The most likely thing is Interplay folding sometime in the not too far off future.
