Fallout MMOG license in jeopardy

![]() Interplay, your license is about to expire! |
According to the agreement, if full scale development on the project and if the budget for the project wasn't up to a certain standard by April 4, 2009 Interplay would be in breach of their agreement and forfeit all rights. Interplay disagrees with Bethesda's assessment.
“Interplay adamantly disputes these claims. Although the potential damages are currently unknown, if Bethesda ultimately prevails and cancels the trademark license agreement, Interplay would lose its license back of the Fallout MMOG and any damages resulting therefrom are unknown at this time.”
A few days ago, Interplay announced a partnership with Earthrise developer Masthead Studios to co-fund and co-develop Project V:13. The rumored code name for the Fallout MMOG. A last ditch effort to retain rights? This doesn't bode well for the ever-struggling Interplay.
