http://www.fallout-on-line.com/ Odds of being released? Eh... http://e3.gamespot.com/story/6266292/fallout-online-teaser-site-launches However, even with a legal green light, Fallout Online faces many obstacles on the road to release--foremost of which is Interplay's shaky financial state. In a financial report released last year, the company reported a loss of $1.052 million on $854,000 of income for the nine months ending September 30, 2009, thanks mostly to $1.48 million in "general and administrative" costs. During that same period, the company reported it had only spent $195,000 on product development. |

I wonder what can explain that situation (I mean the high administrative cost & low development budget) I would at first expect a development budget to be at least 50% of overall yearly budget for a gaming company the rest being split between administrative, general & publicity but then I'm no gaming company manager :mrgreen: still seems very disproportionate ... |

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6285824.html?tag=latestheadlines%3Btitle%3B2 Now, according to legal documents obtained by industry site Gamasutra, the legal battle between the two companies has re-erupted. On November 19, Bethesda said Interplay's use of the aforementioned Fallout assets was a violation of the two companies' trademark license agreement, an assertion Interplay contested in its own filing on December 3. |

You know what, they maybe cutting cost by using art from the other fallout games. This would lighten the load tremendously. |

Odds of being released? Eh... http://www.gamespot.com/news/6348356.html According to a press release describing the settlement, the "license granted to Interplay to develop a Fallout MMO is null and void." |
