Interplay Forced to Liquidate (France)

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the end-has-come-for-thee dept.

genrader writes "Voodoo Extreme is reporting that Interplay has had judicial liquidation take place. If you've been reading the gaming news, a lot has been going on with Interplay financially, it seems all this finally caught up to them. Interplay has formerly published very well known games like Icewind Dale, the Baldur's Gate series, and Descent. Farewell, Interplay." Update: 01/06 02:57 GMT by H : This affects just the company in France; sorry for the confusion.

    dude, stocks are scam, buy euros, your dollar is toast, you cannot create 600billion in extra slush, and not see 8-20% devaluation yearly. So get out of the cycle, buy euros or gold or a mix.

    "The Lord of Murder shall perish, but in his doom he shall spawn a score of mortal progeny. Chaos shall be sown from their passage. So Sayeth the Wise Alaundo."

    The "Lord of Murder" is clearly Interplay France.
    The "score of mortal progeny" are the former Interplay employees.
    Finally, the "Chaos" will be Electronic Arts churning out crud games.

    You're right, that is pretty funny. Um, if you're not French, that is.

    The joke is in how they worded the headline. It should be obvious that no malice is intended.
