Interplay Forced to Liquidate (France)
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.

Good Bye France. The only thing you were good for was wine and I'm drinking beer tonight. Oh, and Euro-Disney and burned out McDonald's franchaises. Bah, the French, I frat in your general direction.

Television is dead. Long live That Weasel Television
Those who play hacked games should take special note of this story, and never, ever bitch that there are no good titles out.
If you don't support game publishers/developers with your money, then you might as well get used to playing a steady diet of big name sequels or GPL games on Linux, because there won't be funding for anything cutting edge or original.
It kind of makes sense that if anything was getting liquidated it would be the French offices. They apparently have some really restrictive labor laws regarding vacations, work hours, whether you can fire people, etc.
Makes it hard to whip out that extra effort from your workers.
