Bethesda/Zenimax Reclaims Fallout IP

I read about it here.

Before anyone makes a comment about "Bethesda stepping on the little guy", remember that Interplay is fucking dead. It's been dead for years. Bethesda/Zenimax didn't file the lawsuit because Interplay was gonna make a shit-ton of money on a great game, it was filed because Interplay was, again, dead and they weren't doing anything with the license. The IP is better off in another developer's hands; like Bethesda, because now they could probably make it pretty good, especially since they're sitting on the massive profit ($650 million in a month) from Skyrim.

But, yeah! Hopefully this means we'll hear word of a Fallout MMO in a couple years. A new post-apoc MMO would be dopamine.

Sounds good to me. I would like to see another 'Tactics' rather than another MMO (but that is just me). I got lost in all of the claims to rights for the IP long ago. To me it was like the FASA stuff with Mechwarrior many years back. If you aren't doing anything with the IP, let someone else run with it! This also may be the reason why we haven't seen many "Shadowrun" games. Licensing can sometimes be a real problem.

lets not forget the lack of any sort of Commander Keen FPS games. I bet they haven't even tried...
