Fallout 3 Van Buren Tech Demo Released
gbridge writes "Over eight years since the release of Fallout 2, the original (pre-alpha) tech demo of Black Isle Studio's abandoned Fallout 3 Van Buren project has made its way into the public domain. It's obviously a long, long way from being even beta quality but fans are rejoicing that they finally have something of the cancelled project to see for themselves. Bethesda have also given Fallout fans something to look forward to by announcing that a teaser video of their own interpretation of Fallout 3 will be released in 33 days time."
"From what I've seen, Fallout's "fans" have spent their time of late doing little more than moan and speculate..."
You've obviously never been to No Mutants Alive (www.nma-fallout.com). There is a thriving mod community that is still releasing new mods and patches. I think your 'honest' opinion is either based on facts that you pulled out of your ass or you're trolling.
Saying that it has made its way "into the public domain" implies that the copyright on it has been waived, therefore anyone can do anything they want with it.
The linked article doesn't mention anything of the sort. It makes it sound like it has "become public", meaning to become available.
Another non-functioning site was "uncertainty.microsoft.com."
The purpose of that site was not known.
