Means we will still need to wait longer for a interplay sale :(

But still...

If I only could afford it...

Uh, no.

Interplay is a half million in the hole for delinquent taxes. That's not like having 2.8 million in debt they're current on. And you don't have delinquent taxes and adequate funding at the same time, that's like saying you're well dressed when you have no clothes. Their 10-Q's have been nothing but fiction for years.

In 2004, when they were delinquent on wages, the state of California seized them, and they had to settle some of their claims just to get the company back.

Interplay does not have plenty of funding, that's actually the whole point. When a company puts out this:

“If we cannot generate additional income or raise additional capital in the near future, we may become insolvent or be made bankrupt or may become illiquid or worthless.”

That does not mean they have plenty of funding, that means "Oh Shi-! we ran out of funding!"

You're right a lot of the debt is left over. What you're missing is that they aren't actually making any money (they actually had a loss of over $1 million last year) and no-one is loaning them any more. Even without the almost $3 million debt, they still owe ~$500,000 in taxes from last year which is very serious.

It's not, of course, 100% sure they will go down. They might sell off more IP, they might find some poor fool to loan them money, or they might shovel *something* out the door and sell enough copies of whatever it is to stay afloat.

It's probably a good idea to add any of their titles you particularly want to the top of the buying queue though... just in case.

Regardless of HOW tragic Interplay's situation is, they could certainly use some of our money.
So I would suggest you people don't wait for them to slowly wither away and die just to get a promo over their rotting corpse.

They've been first to sign a deal with GOG for a reason, you know. In some small way... I believe we've also been the reason they're still afloat (the Fallouts have been on the weekly bestseller list for almost the entire existence of GOG).

Sorry, off-topic: is there a way to view the weekly best-sellers list (like the top 10)? I'm just curious what they are.

Check the main page, it's under the bestsellers tab on the bottom-right. From what I recall, it changes once a week but for the longest time the spots that are currently "The Witcher" and "The Witcher 2" were "Fallout" and "Fallout 2". CONSTANTLY. Sometimes they would fall a little bit lower than 1st and 2nd place because of some huge promo but they still were there.

I'd love to buy some. There's actually a lot that I'd want to buy. Which is the problem. It's too many to buy without a sale.

Wait so does this mean if I don't get BG2 right now, I might not be able to get it in the future?

Conceivably, but by the same token whomever it is that the bankruptcy court turns over the assets to is likely to keep the deal as it stands. Given how much more they're likely making now than they were, only an idiot would turn that down.

The only thing I could see screwing it up is if people only bid on it regionally.

Thanks. Interesting, I don't see them on there at all, now. : /

But they ARE there D: !

Oh sorry. X) I thought you meant the Fallouts were still on the list somewhere, having fallen down to the 5th or 6th spot. I do see the bestseller lists, thanks.
