Here is that link correctly formatted.
I'm pretty certain Herve Caen is a corrupt person, there are plenty of ex-employee reports of him not paying them, and generally messing people about so he can get their money.
It was me who mailed voodooextreme, and also mailed them again to correct the article - my mistake. As others have said, all the French assets are liquidated, not the worldwide ones (which means Interplay is still alive). It's only a matter of time for Interplay, anyway.

For those interested in Bethesda's response (basically, it's "no comment").
Hi, I was the person who interviewed Leonard and my strong impression is that they WANT to do a turn based game, it's the publishers who don't want to take the risk of a) an unusual setting combined with b) a 'niche' (their view) combat system (turn based).
There has to be demand for the system, and as Leonard says, they got a few publisher calls based on the media and community reaction to the screenshots a few months ago. So if we make enough noise about turn based games, there's still a chance.
