What never ceases to amaze me, is the steadfast belief of some in Herve's ability to rise Interplay out of the mire he put it in. Intermixing facts with wishful thinking and hopeful desires is not going to change the reality of the situation. His arrogance aside (there is a lot of arrogance...

Which is easier to accept as truth? That Herve, with his long history of breaking deals, lying, bad business decisions, no working demo, no concept art, no original fallout writers nor a staff of any type managed to find, 7 days after being served an involuntary bankruptcy order, an...

Do paper & pencil games count?

As I said before, I do not believe Herve's claim to have an investor. This news only confirms that belief.

I saw. I can not comment either way. IF I was involved, then I don't want to ruin any chance of getting anything by stirring up trouble. If I was not involved, then I look the fool for not thinking of it myself. Did that make sense?

He'll get his, I'm sure of it. The Franchise tax board is relentless.

I do not believe Herve's claim to have an investor. He has no demo, no concept art, no proof of concept. The entire development staff who created the original ideas for Fallout are gone and working for other companies. Herve has demonstrated an utter lack of knowledge about the computer game...

The euphoria from cocaine disappears rather quickly and thus leaves the user with a craving for the same feeling. The user usually increases the dose and the frequency to satisfy this craving. When cocaine use is stopped or when a binge ends, depression follows along with a strong desire to...

Unless I'm mistaken, recent studies have shown both marijuana, cocaine to be addictive. Granted, so is tobacco and alcohol. However, as I stated previously, I would love to see marijuana legalized. Until 1883, from 75-90% of all paper in the world was made with cannabis hemp fiber. It can...

Granted my perspective is overshadowed by living in California, but I do see the gangs that sell the drugs really do hate America. Here in the sunshine state, they openly (well, as openly as gangs can) proclaim how much they hate America and everything it stands for. I've heard it with my own...

It is always the subtle points that get missed, isn't it. My point here is what could those druggies have contributed to humanity had they not been druggies. What has been lost? Who or what might have they become? My overall point, which seems to have been missed, is there is more than...

Ahh, but there is. There is an unseen cost to drug use that most people tend to forget; who is getting the money for your buying "a little coke, speed or extacy now and then". Trafficking in illicit drugs tends to be associated with the commission of violent crimes for the competition of...

I can understand how they feel about working in the game industry. After leaving Interplay (well, after Interplay folded), I tried Blizzard and Collective studios. The childish supervisors and petty fiefdom mentality of both left me with a bad taste for game companies. Papaya studios did offer...

Anybody who knows the game industry can easily see the blatant untruths in his SEC MMORPG announcement. And, anybody who has met Herve, who has had a chance to talk to him, and llisten to his words will know the real truth behind this. However, in all fairness, lets look at the facts. 1...

I don't, not one bit. Those morons still hold out the steadfast belief that Herve will not let them down, that he will, eventually, turn the company around and pump up the stock price.

I suspect since IPLY used Vivendi as a distributor, and WoW is part of Vivendi, he is deluded into thinking he can hook into WoW via this ultra thin Vivendi connection. He is lying to attrack possible investors. As I have stated many, many times, with his track record, only a fool would loan...

He wasn't. Shock of shocks, he is lying. http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,36616/ And, his "REACH 1 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS DURING THE FIRST YEAR " is a steaming pile too. That is more than EQ2 and COH combined. He'd be hardpresed to reach those numbers, even with...

If you search around the web, you can find references to Interplay Entertainment and much has been bandied about what happened to it. Why did this happen. How did Interplay crumble? Nobody, other than Herve himself will ever know the full details, but Herve did make some major missteps that give...

The problem with that is, Josh's views on Rome are so heavily over laded with religion that its impossible to discuss anything else with him.

That is the problem with arrogant people, they can't see it. They delude themselves into believing in their own greatness. In their mind, they create reasons why the rest of us can't see it - only through their greatness can they, and it starts vicious circle that never ends. In Herve's...
