Bethesda & Interplay Fallout Settlement Nears?

[Dec 29, 2011, 12:10 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

An article on The Fallout wiki attempts to summarize the current state of the long-running legal dispute between interplay and Bethesda over the rights to the Fallout series of post-apocalyptic role-playing games. This includes a Q&A that mentions that this no longer includes any conflict over the "Fallout Trilogy." Here's that: "Both sides have previously agreed to drop this from the case (Bethesda raised it, and Interplay agreed). The case now just concerns future Fallout games." There's also this update stating that Bethesda has filed a motion to seal portions of the case, saying that this can often be an indication that an out-of-court settlement is in the works. Thanks Le Wastelander.

Agreed, Dev. If Valve ever sells out than gaming is over. Well, maybe that's a bit drastic, or maybe we're all just getting old, heh. The indies will always have a place, but it's that mid-cap market that seems to be almost gone. Had I the dough I'd buy BIS and get some old-school crpgs made again!

Woops, gotta go, damn kids are on my lawn!
