Efter adskillige år med spil som Fallout, Baldurs Gate, Icewind Dale og ikke mindst Planescape Torment, har Interplay besluttet sig for at lukke det klassiske Black Isle Studios. Vi har mere indenfor.
Teamet var godt i gang med Fallout 3, og havde den første demo klar, men blev forleden kaldt ind til en fyring. Her er hvad en medarbejder hos udvikleren havde at sige:
"Today was my last day at the (former) BIS, as it was for my whole team. I just wanted to say farewell to the best fans in the industry, and thanks for all the great feedback and support. I don't know where I'll end up, but know that we were all avid gamers and wanted to make the PC games that not only we wanted to play, but also the fans. But this isn't goodbye. Puuk will still flow through various boards (even this one, but without the BIS logo), and I still look forward to shooting ideas back and forth with my fellow gamers. All of you take care and have a great holiday."
Dermed mister spilfans en af de helt store Pc udviklere.
