Hello,
I never visited this website until today though I have played the original Fallout and Fallout 2 more times than I can count.
While in the grand scope of life a game is not important, I still felt like someone punched me in the stomach when I heard BIS was gone and Interplay had cancelled Fallout 3.
As an avid game player, be it console, board, computer, whathaveyou, I am saddened that a group such as Black Isle Studio would be let go and have yet another game taken out of their more than capable hands.
I hope only for the best of those who are now jobless during the Christmas season. This action reminds me of Sierra's treatment of its workers and Sony's treatment of Psygnosis. Truly a shame that people who have created something that went beyond what it was intended be dealt with in this manner.
