Blizzard and Activision Merging
ackblom12:
While I agree that from a business standpoint Troika was doomed from the start, they still made Arcanum and Bloodlines, both of which I consider to be among the best RPGs ever made. Honestly, neither really had any more problems than Fallout.
Of course I guess that's akin to telling an AIDS victim that they could be sicker.

That busted my brain.

Spielberg has two projects in the works (which I think are both being published by EA?) that are completely unrelated to the Dreamworks license, which Activision has under contract, at least for the near future.

Just popping in to say that it's Dead Space, not Deep Space. Please don't Godwinize.

I keep hearing that, yet I find it roughly as plausible as Duke Nukem Forever and Chinese Democracy being released to mass acclaim.

Anderson's definitely working for Interplay. What's implausible is the idea that Interplay could ever find the funding for any project after the company's implosion. Bethesda's just waiting until '09 when they get the MMO rights to Fallout from them. Anderson isn't working on the MMO, btw. He's lead designer on some unnamed project. They don't have many licenses, I think they still have Earthworm Jim and Descent, maybe a few others. But it's still stupid that Anderson would go back to Interplay after Herve Caen screwed everybody who worked for him. The only reason he paid his workers what they were owed years after Interplay folded the first time was because it was a stipulation in Bethesda's acquisition of the Fallout license (something Bethesda doesn't get enough credit for) I wager Anderson thinks things couldn't get any worse so he might as well slum. Meanwhile Tim Cain's at NCSoft and Boyarsky's living it up at Blizzard. Bad luck.
Anyway, I think we're getting a little too off-topic.
