Sovz informed us of an article on Ferrago. It's nothing new, but it has some nifty analogies:<blockquote>If Interplay's current downward spiral does result in their ultimate demise anytime soon, then this must surely have been the most drawn-out death scene since the insane terrorist-come-robber with the lank blonde hair ran psychotically out of the burning Plaza at the close of Die Hard. Once golden-child of the industry, Interplay has been responsible for releasing some truly seminal titles - the likes of Fallout and Baldur's Gate - as well as many more all emanating from the house that Titus bought. But since Titus' acquisition some years back, the firm seems to have been in a slow decline with the burst of the technology bubble, a fact emphasised by the plight of their beleaguered parent company whose other publishing interest in Virgin Interactive saw Virgin reclaiming their brand name and the company then down-sizing to next to nothing.</blockquote>Link: article on Ferrago
