Interplay in Discussions Regarding Acquisition of Company is a press release that offers little more detail than can be found in that title, something they are obviously not trying to keep quiet for whatever reason. If they were trying to keep the buyer a secret, then they better hope the information on PC Zone is incorrect, where they speculate that Pacific Century Cyber Works, a Chinese Consortium, may be the interested party, though they admit that "there is every reason to suspect that Microsoft may be looking to acquire a big-name developer." Meanwhile, Computer and Video Games is basically confirming this latter report, their headline is "Interplay sold to Chinese mega-company," and they say "the buyout will be confirmed within 10 days."
