Black Isle Studios: More Denial from Interplay
   

The Black Isle/Fallout 3 saga continues with Interplay's investor relations department contacting IGN with <a href="http://pc.ign.com/articles/446/446776p1.html?fromint=1" target="_blank">their spin</a>:<blockquote><em>Which brings us up to our new guest star, Interplay's investor relations department, with their official denial of the stories. "For the record," says Interplay, "Black Isle Studios remains open with projects pending, the status of Fallout 3 is under review, and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel will ship on January 13."</em></blockquote>Proof is offered in the form of the argument that Interplay is a publicly traded company and no announcement has been made.
<br>
<br>Yup. Remember we have several posts from the now ex-developers in the Van Buren team, including Damien Foletto who said "Today was my last day at the (former) BIS, as it was for my whole team". It seems most unlikely Fallout 3 "is under review" when the entire team has been let go (bar two people).</em></blockquote>

It's under review, much like the dinosaurs are under review by mother nature.

i don't know why the garbage at the top of interplay is still around, they're complete idiots in terms of management and vision, always managing to somehow sh*t on their own shoes and then grin about it like some prepubescent "woot" wanker.

I think they have received some offers from potential Fallout buyers. In such case no one will say "But of course my friends I want to sell. How much are You willing to pay?". Interplay plays to achieve better price. Of course another possibility exists - all the menagers are schizophrenics.

They're not fooling me and you and they are certainly not fooling potential buyers.

They are most certainly not fooling anyone.
They are definately crazy. btw, they would have achieved a better effect if they have admitted the whole thing straight away or said nothing at all.
