'Tis a long, sad saga - here is but the tip of the iceburg. http://forums.windrivers.com/archive/index.php/t-67049.html

Ok some details then . . . Herve had a bad habit of considering himself above having to answer, or even speak to, non-executive types. Nothing concrete mind you, he just exuded an aura of contempt and disdain for people who didn't have the title "vice president" or higher in their corporate...

After 3 years, to the month, that the Herve tried to pull his "I don't pay the little people" stunt, the mighty hand of Bethesda, and the threat of bankruptcy, finally forced Herve to pay me, to pay EVERYBODY. Thank you Herve for the new 07 jeep, and my wife loves her new pt cruiser convertible.

I've become a big fan of steampunk, especially as a writer. I can expound on the historical basis of the real, and explore the creativity of the fictional. For those wonder about steampunk (there might be a few, very few, readers who don't). I found this...

Let us not forget, IPLY has to raise 30 million or Bethesda will "foreclose" on IPLY's fallout plans.

Now we discover that ZeniMax Media/Bethesda is stating that Interplay never had the rights to license a Pen and Paper to GCG under their license of Fallout. Yes indeed, suckered by the slick frog king. Even with with his reputation he still managed to swindle them out of money. I guess...

Duke Henry of Saxony? Umm, he suffered from a stroke and died on July 2nd, 936. But, before he died he did united the German tribes of Franks, Saxons, Swabians and Bavarians into a single kingdom, Regnum Teutonicorum (Kingdom of the Germans). ;)

If you had ever met Herve, you know the answer to that one. This is about ego and arrogance. Herve has no doubts of his own ability, his own designs, and his choices. In his mind, he has made all the right choices and it was only the poor choices of others that landed him in his current...

Now that Interplay has released the news, I can say more. While I can not release all the details until the court dust settles, I can say that I am one of the two employees, the case has not yet been settled, and Herve has continued his long standing policy of non-communication/non-negotiation...

Ooohh, just noticed this. Interplay agrees that an independent accountant selected and appointed by Bethesda may, no more than twice per year at Bethesda's cost and upon fifteen (15) business days' prior written notice to Interplay, inspect, examine and otherwise audit ("AUDIT") the...

The upholding to Bethesda standards is their trump card. When Herve's ego deludes him into thinking his ideas are viable (remember he thought Ballerium was a good thing), the game will tank. Bethesda will step in and claim he is in breach of contract and the whole pony show ends. This is...

I think the nuances of the contract is being missed. Herve is going to create, produce, and minister Fo:oL under the auspices of Bethesda, but he will be creating it. He opened an office in France to manage this task. His "new" Interplay will operate with Bethesda looking over his shoulder...

It seems Herve is still involved. To retain its license rights under this Agreement, Interplay agrees that (i) full-scale development of its FALLOUT MMOG will commence within twenty-four (24) months of the Effective Date of this Agreement. Interplay will have secured financing for...

It is not idiocy. It is arrogance. He firmly believes that he is the greatest businessman on earth, and that only his fantastic skills can restore Interplay to a thriving company. He holds Brian Fargo 100% responsible, not himself. The game industry is rife with this level arrogance. It is...

It is now March, and there is no sign of the fabled FO:OL investors foretold in November. There is no production taking place, nor any ramp up for production. It would seem my belief of a lie is holding up.

I can not help but wonder if JE's annoyance in the comparison was related to Oblivion's open ended story line system versus NWN2 "lead by the nose" ultra-linear approach (a JE hallmark).

Not necessarily. I find it highly doubtful that even the most delusional and moronic investor would fall for Herve's FO:OL plan (then again, there are pretty ignorant ones out there), and, Herve's arrogance precludes even the most sensible plans of getting out from the mess he has made...

Very, very doubtful. My guess is when Interplay is finally forced into bankruptcy, the massive loans Herve made to himself will need to be repaid for some odd legal reason (I'm no SEC expert). Threatened with being dragged down, Herve will sell off the rights to a Fallout MMO to another company...

I'm sure Eric didn't quite "Give" Herve the money. Herve was person or entity setup as "liquidateur amiable" and was in charge of the liquidation process, no doubt due to an unaware French bureaucrat. The funds from the liquidation didn't go where they were "supposed to". Since there was...

Lets hope that when the auction takes place, Herve doesn't pull a similar stunt to what his brother pulled with Titus. When the French authorities ordered Titus liquidated, Eric selected Herve handle the auction. Very little of the proceeds ended up going to Titus' creditors. Most ended...
