Sad to see this. With Interplay behind the wheel we will either never see a Fallout MMO launch or we will see another failed MMO hit the scene.
Yes, Black Isles studios did an excellent job with Fallout. FO was fairly niche though, which was fine by me they just didn't appeal to the masses. Bethesda took the FO series and made it a huge hit.
What some of you fail to understand though is that Interplay closed down Black Isles studios, the ones respondible for FO. The vets from Black Isles formed Obsidian Entertainment which did Fallout New vegas.
Interplay was just the publisher and had very little to do with FO.
Interplay did squat.
Black Isles developed FO 1&2
Obsidian is what Black Isles became after Interplay shut them down.
Obsidian did FO: New Vegas.
If you wanted a FO MMO from the creators of FO then you would side with Bethesda since Obsidian is working with them and not interplay.
Threads like these make my head hurt. You say you want Interplay to do the FO MMO because you liked the early FO's better, yet the ones responsible for the early FO's are working with Bethesda.
Well if it wasn't Obvious I was hoping for Bethesda to get the rights back. I would actually like to see a decent MMO come out of all of this, sadly with Interplay at the helm thats guaranteed not to happen.

Bethesda games have a plot?
Sarcasm is not a crime!
Nope thats why they would make good mmos.
I will not play a game with a cash shop ever again. A dev job should be to make the game better not make me pay so it sucks less.

GrayGhost79 is totaly right about Interplay and BlackIsle.
The only ones who could actulay make a good FallOut MMO are Obsidian.
All of you should learn a little bit of history about games you like.
But its not a fact, that if Bethesda gets rights on FO MMO it would give the task to Obsidian.
IMO FallOut MMO is doomed to fail.
