Interplay Finally In Process Of Going Under?

Random Guru 42 writes "GameSpot is reporting that Interplay is sliding further down the spiral of going out of business. Hopefully the rumors of Interplay's demise are greatly exaggerated." We previously covered earlier rumblings of Interplay's demise, and Sivar writes "According to a Fallout news website, Interplay has 'told the employees to file for unemployment' [a later source indicates 'the employees have until Friday to move all of their personal possessions out of... the Interplay offices]." Finally, an update to the GameSpot story has an un-named, masked employee insisting on the closure rumors: "No, that's not true" - it's also pointed out Interplay "...is facing a battery of lawsuits, including one by Arden Realty for $432,000 in back rent and another by BioWare for $156,000 for unpaid Baldur's Gate royalties."

    Don't forget about Freespace!

    Mentioning Freespace 3 or Descent 4 on one of the fan forums will result in a horde of homicidal maniacs descending upon you.

    (FS and FS2 are two of the greatest games ever created. The community has done some incredible work improving the game using the source code after it was released including a port of FS1 to the FS2 engine)
