Where'd That 6th Toe Come From?
Some of you might remember the little news item we had a while back about Wired's Vaporware contest.

Well, guess what? Enough people sent in e-mails for the game to be number two on the list:<blockquote>Fallout 3 was supposed to be the sequel to the two highly regarded mutant shoot 'em ups that preceded it. Alas, publisher Interplay fired the entire development team at Black Isle Studios but neglected to tell anyone about it.

Despite it being widely known that the game is dead, the company continues to pretend the project is still alive and well.
...
Reader Damien Foletto said, "If Wired News has a dipstick maneuver of the year award, Interplay should get that one."</blockquote>Well, alright the writer said Fallout 1 and 2 were mutant shoot em ups... But it still is nice to see Fallout 3 there.

Cheers for the heads up, JJ86.

He was at the time of sending that not employed at a company or affiliated in any way to interplay

't makes sense, no?

But why do you think they picked him to quote?
 
I hope lots ofIply execs loose their jobs over this.


My hope now is when Iply goes bankrupt, someone buys the rights to the FO lisence.
 
/me sprays coffee over his monitor in aerosol form.

Wow, Herve was certainly stupid then. It doesn't look like things have changed, either.
 
The great thing is that this was entirely a write-in campaign - no poll options, multiple choices or anything, just tons of pissed-off Fallout fans making their voice heard.

Oh yeah, I've been sending him at least an email a week.

"Hey Herve, why'd ya do it"?

"Hey Herve, do you realize that you just shot IP in the temple?"

"Hey Herve, did you see this news article indicating that FO3 was one of the most anticipated vapor wares?"

"Hey Herve, what do you think about this review of FO:BOS? Pretty painful, huh?"

But he doesn't bother replying because he's a shy little frenchie.
