I emailed Tim Cain to inquire if Troika wanted to aquire the Fallout license from Interplay. Here was his reply:
I wish Troika has the kind of money to make a serious bid for the Fallout license. However, despite rumors to the contrary, Interplay is NOT selling the Fallout license right now. I have spoken with them personally, and I have talked to other people who have made them offers. They have rebuffed all offers made to them to date.
It looks like they are holding onto the license for now. Let's see what the future holds...
Tim.
It looks like Interplay is holding out, even thought they have had many offers. It would be just like them to go bankrupt and take the fallout license with them...
