Report – Bethesda drops Interplay lawsuit [UPDATE]
Update: Well, apparently, the proceedings are not over. According to Peter Hines, it’s “still ongoing and has not been resolved. It is a minor procedural thing that took place, not a dropping of the lawsuit.”
“The bottom line is it’s an ongoing legal matter, it’s in no way, shape or form done,” Hines continued. “We’re going to let the process play out in the courts, which is what we’ve said all along, but beyond that I can’t give specifics as to procedures. That’s not my domain.” (via Kotaku)
Original: Looks like Bethesda has decided to drop its appeal for an injunction against Interplay, which means that development on the Fallout MMO (Project V13) may proceed.
