Interplay Followup

August 28, 2001 6:22 AM

Interplay Strikes Back is a news story on EuroGamer, following up on their story from yesterday about Interplay being shut down as a publisher by Titus and Vivendi publishing Interplay titles. It turns out that this publishing deal was actually signed by Interplay and not Titus. Titus owns 51% of Interplay, but is not in control of the company until they elect a new board of directors. So in the mean time, Interplay is trying to make Titus' welcome as unpleasant as possible. Which is why Titus already announced that Interplay marketing and distribution staff were being laid off.

Obviously not content with this spoiling move, our sources are now reporting that Interplay has filed to say that its shareholders want the company wound up! This could mean that when Titus gets hold of the reins in September the company will already be in Chapter 11 receivership. Somebody at Interplay obviously doesn't like the fox...
