That's good management there fellas...
Ehm... But that was BEFORE Fargo resigned?!
Seems like we got it all wrong, fellas... Brian is the one who ran IPLY into the ground!

Well, the market in general tanked during that time, and Sept 11 happened too, so not all of it is Caen's fault. Just most of it
And thanks Capelworth, your list lays things out nicely. I vote Capelworth for IPLY CEO.
EDIT: And does anyone else find it ironic that the replacement of the board of directors occured on Sept 11?

Saw that one on RB too. Nothing new, tho'
PS: Interplay filed a 10-K/A about shareholding amongst employees. Nothing too amazing, from what I skimmed over. http://biz.yahoo.com/e/040429/iplye.ob10-k_a.html

First time out of the vault
Keep in mind that those prices were from before and after a hostile takeover by the Caens as well. After Mr. Fargo built Interplay from a small developer to a fairly large publisher, the company began to struggle. From roughly the time that the company went public, neither Mr. Fargo nor Mr. Caen appears to have been able to manage it very effectively.Jebus said:Ehm... But that was BEFORE Fargo resigned?!

The company hasn't made money on its core business--making and selling games--in years. At the beginning of last year, I thought that might change in 2003 if Titus was able to avoid bankruptcy in June (which it did) and avoid dipping into Interplay's coffers (which it didn't). Then the Jefferson, Van Buren, Airborne, and Galleon debacles wasted millions that Interplay couldn't afford to lose.
Of course, hindsight is always 20/20.

The lowest was four cents, back this time last year.
EDIT: The best part of that is them losing the rights to distribute BG
A2 because of lack of funding.. If they hadn't pissed away the BG3 rights in order to extend the BGA licence, they would have had BG3 on shelves generating money for the last 6-8 months or so AND been able to distribute BGA2 with the money generated from BG3.. So, in short..HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA! YOU'RE A DUMB FUCK, MOLITOR!
Perfect summary, Saint.
