Buried inside was the revelation that Interplay will run out of cash in five weeks unless it receives an injection of capital. "The company anticipates its current cash reserves, plus its expected generation of cash from existing operations, will not be sufficient to fund its anticipated expenditures through the second quarter of fiscal 2004," read the report. "If we do not receive sufficient financing we may (i) liquidate assets, (ii) sell the company (iii) seek protection from our creditors including the filing of voluntary bankruptcy or being the subject of involuntary bankruptcy, and/or (iv) continue operations, but incur material harm to our business, operations or financial conditions."

Caen expressed optimism that catapulting the Fallout universe into the online arena could reverse the fortunes of the once-successful developer and publisher. "Initial feedback from our investment bank and ongoing dialogue with others in the gaming sector," Caen said, "appear to confirm that the combination of our valuable and popular intellectual properties with the rapidly growing online gaming community is the best way to maximize Interplay shareholder value."

He didnt say if these people wants interplay to develop it... maybe... just maybe, they were thinking that its a good idea to make Fallout Online, when its finally sold to another company.

I would like Fallout 3. Not Fallout MMORPG.

I would like for Interplay to go bankrupt and have to sell the Fallout license to all the old Black Isle developers they fired.

Hopefully they'll end up having to liquidate their properties, though that leaves open the possibility of another group getting the property and massacring it more than the recent Brotherhood of Steel did.
