More bad news at Black Isle Studios, where lead designer J.E. Sawyer resigned
just last month ( story), as Farewell,
but not goodbye on the Interplay Entertainment Forums (thanks Nels Nelson)
is a post from Damien "Puuk" Foletto that indicates that the studio is
now shut down, referring to today as his "last day at the (former) BIS."
This follows suit with a note sent along by designer John Deiley: Today
marks the end of an era. Black Isle Studios is no more. In yet
another sweeping layoff of employees, Interplay has officially let go the last
of it's Black Isle employees (save two that I know of) and dissolved the
division. Also, the non-announced title that the division was working on,
Fallout 3, has been "shelved" to quote management.

This has nothing to do with piracy. Over the past several years Interplay made some REALLY bad decisions. They sold off a number of licenses which could have easily put them on top (The Matrix, for one), cancelled projects that were in development for 2 or more years, and the few games they release suck balls and don't sell (Lionheart, Run Like Hell).
