e.g. Frymuchan ("fry munching"? o_0) dump a ton of money in Bethesda's lap in Interplay's name....
the article states that the suite was due to "over due work", but last we read it was for money's not provided to Bethesda due to poor backing.

World Peace has a better chance of happening than Descent 4.

At least it's doing better than Duke Nukem Forever.

Well, Daikatana did get released...though maybe it would have been better for everyone if it wasn't.

Update: Sadly, Interplay will be resuming its countersuit, which covers breach of contract, declaratory judgment and an award for damages, in addition to attorneys fees and "other relief." Interplay claims Bethesda purposefully tried to drag the lawsuit out, knowing the company's weak financial situation. Interplay will retain rights to distribute older Fallout titles.
Why couldn't they leave it at "they dropped it" and move on? If I could guess the percentages of what will happen, I'd give a:
30% chance of succeeding
20% chance of Bethsuda digging something else up to counter their counter
50% chance of failure, losing EVEN MORE MONEY, and putting everything on hold.
Bonus 5% chance that if the 50% senario does happen, that they will go bankrupt as well.

That was my point!
