Interplay stenger Black Isle Studios

Etter mange år med spill som Fallout, Baldurs Gate, Icewind Dale og ikke minst Planescape Torment, har Interplay bestemt seg for å stenge Black Isle Studios.

Teamet var godt i gang med Fallout 3, og hadde den første demoen klar, men ble altså nylig informert om at de hadde fått sparken. Her er hva en medarbeider hos Black Isle hadde å si:

"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 spillfans en av de største PC utviklerne i bransjen. Vi tar på sørgebåndet.
