Brian get's clawed..

[Odin]

Tigerclaw, which is a korean PC gamer webzine, have conducted an interview with none other than mr Brian Fargo himself, here's a quote:<blockquote>Tiger's Claw: How did Interplay get into the financial trouble? We heard that Interplay stock holders were about to sue you for that.

Brian: Interplay was a very successful PC publisher but the console market took over pretty quickly. Interplay did not make the transition fast enough and was caught in a declining PC market. I started kicking off console games like the Matrix, Hunter and Dark Alliance but it was a bit late. Fortunately the stock holders understood and did not sue anyone.</blockquote>So, he's to blame for all this console shit...damn!...Brian also talks a little about an interest in hiring some of the Black Isle talent (if they need people in the future)

Thanks to Young Su Kwon (Chief of Editor at Tiger's Claw) for informing me about this.

Nice quote here:

It appears to me that Interplay is merely being dismantled and sold off for its parts. Most of the talent has left and there was no leadership to run Black Isle so it was closed. I think that was a huge mistake since their name has a quality reputation. We are not hiring right now but would of course entertain hiring some of the talent from there.

Wait wait. WHAT? He's to blame? I feel disillusioned.

Part of, but not wholly responsible for the idiocy there.

All Fargo did was just bend Interplay over in time to be fucked by a clueless Frenchman in hooker drag.
