IPLY homeless...

Yeah employees should stay in contact and go through their chances and their rights.


Maybe an injunction if they don`t get paid today, stoping Iplay from selling any IP or office material and hardware until they get payed?

STEAL THE VB Computer! STEAL THE VB computer.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I think choosing to invest in IP over the past 4 years was not the wisest choice to make. You've definitely got to know when drop and run.

That's why it's called "playing" the market.

Or you could be like some Interplay investors and claim that the stocks will be up to 20-25 the next week, promise!

That was hilarious.
 
God, I almost choked on my water when I read that.

Talk about lack of reality...

I'd love to see what "data" he used to determine the stock was going to go ballistic.

Probably tea-leaves.
 
Having been in the brokerage bidness for 10 years, I've actually seen some even more crazed trades...

I oughta tell ya some stories.

:)
 
Yeah i check Titus info everyday, they`ve been droping 0.01 0r 0.02 almost everyday since the General Assembly was suspended.


And you do have a point Pope :)
 
So, Titus is on the verge of being flushed as well?
And then what'll happen to the Fo-license?
Titus is the top of the chain, right? Nothing else above them?

In that case, shouldn't the Fo-license be up for grabs if they fall?
 
What the bloody hell!!
I step away for a coupla frelling hours and look what I come back to! The inevitable has finally arrived for IPLY. Wonderbun, and all other Interplay employees (with the exception of a few), you all have my sincerest prayers and hopes. Your mission right now, however, is starting to become clear in this thread. Steal all the bloody material on Fallout 3 and upload it all to NMA! IPLY is gone, what are they going to do? NOTHING! CHAAAAAAARGE!
 
There's not much in the way of job security in the game industry either. However, while there may not be too many jobs in the game industry, there are thousands of stocks to invest in and anyone that's thought Interplay is a good one to long term invest in since 2001 is a complete moron. It's the equivalent of betting on a clydesdale in the Kentucky Derby. They deserve the loss.
 
Besides the moral deleamer if I had been working there I would have been slowy copying the VB developement onto memory sticks, wrapping them in condoms, swallowing them and smugling the code out internaly....

Though passing a USB memory stick could be unconfortable...
 
Now would actually be a good time to leak some code onto the net ála Doom3, Half Life 2.
IPLY and Titus would have the whole staff as possible offenders, but not a chance in hell that they'd find out it was you among those still in contact with the code in one or another way.

Still, it'd be ethically (etically?) wrong, but haven't IPLY been ethically wrong for a couple of years?
 
First of all, I am not the employee

Secondly, while I realize that FO3 is long awaited.... The source code may not be on the premises..... If it was, it would have leaked by now (there are many many pissed off people right now) and it would be the worst kind of ethics....

Imagine the news that the code was leaked by an angry employee. You walk into a potential employer with IP on the resume and this scandal is fresh on the brain....

Also all devs sign a confidentiality agreement, so even though they may want to, until the official announcement of "DEMISE" they could be sued for breach of contract etc.

While it would excite many... It would cause more problems... besides I can almost guarantee, that the Jefferson and VB source code walked with the last Dev standing.

What a day, I wonder if Brian and Feargus have been reduced to maniacal laughter yet!
 
Yes but if they were logging the directory accesses they could track it down to who copied it recently. The ideal solution was to have copied it a long tiem ago (when production was in progress) and now they they are kind of shafted by Interplay, leak it...

I'm sure Team-X could do wonder with that! Imagine what they could do with the source code of FO2 yet alone FO3....

Aye, I'd hate to sound kumquatterish, but it simply wouldn't be wise, and if one employee did it he'd be shafting the rest, no matter what. With the recent scandals in this area, leaking has become an especially big thing, and a lot of companies are very suspicious about it.

Considering how their two companies are doing, I'm guessing they're laughing maniacally every day.
 
I guess you're both right.
Wonderbun, didn't think of the resume :D
I wouldn't want that on mine.

Fuck it.
Best of luck to your husband and the rest of the developers.
I hope to see Fo3 in good hands in a year or so.
Hopefully Titus won't last either.

What with having destroyed Avalon and not developing much of anything themselves, Titus, much like Interplay, is running on steam. 's gotta end at some point, they'll go too. They'll probably have to sell of Avalon beforehand. Unless he pulls another Interplay "I'll hold on to it to sell it later, when I get a really good bid *cackle*"

Sure thing, Chuckles.
 
Don`t worry about the VB code, it may show up one day, who knows... :look:


Fergus should be studying how to get the hands on the license, someone mail him and Troika too.


Still no news from Irvine from this side.

I don't see how he or Troika could. Neither really have the money to compete with other major gaming companies, especially Obsidian, who will be big post-KotOR...

Should get a publisher to back 'em
