Since Ausir is staff here at the Codex, I'm pretty sure it's not stealing if I grab something he wrote <a href="http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Ausir/Interplay_wins_the_first_round_-_no_preliminary_injunction" target="blank">somewhere else</a> and post it as my own, right? Better check with Judge Chasanow.
<br>
<blockquote>While the full results of the hearing regarding Bethesda's motion for preliminary injunction against Interplay in the Bethesda v. Interplay case were sealed from all but the lawyers, we managed to acquire the following bit:
<br>

<br>
“Motion Hearing held on 12/10/2009 re [3] MOTION for Preliminary Injunction filed by Bethesda Softworks LLC - Argued - "DENIED" as stated on the record by Judge Deborah K. Chasanow. (Court Reporter - Sharon O'Neill) (td, Deputy Clerk)”
<br>

<br>
What does it mean? Preliminary injunction is "an injunction entered by a court prior to a determination of the merits of a legal case, in order to restrain a party from going forward with a course of conduct until the case has been decided". Bethesda wanted the court to order Interplay to stop its work on Project V13 and its sales of the Fallout Trilogy pack until the case is decided; however, judge Chanasow decided not to. Until the case it fully settled, Interplay is free to proceed.</blockquote>

Can I hate Beth even more now?

Can I hate Beth even more now?

Yeah! It's popular these days, you'll be so trendy

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Herve is a slippery devil...

 

[Derper]

You should hate Interplay just a tiny bit more.

 

[Grunker]

Beth's lawsuit is based on 13 or so claims right? Is this the preliminary denial of all of them, or just one?

 

[Azrael the cat]

Herve is a slippery devil...

Yeah, but I really wish he'd either stop rolling 20s on saving throw vs bankruptcy or buff his commerce stat.

I hate both these bastards, like most here, but on the business end of things - all game quality aside - Bethesda isn't in the same league of dirtyness as Herve (in fact I haven't heard of anything dirty they've done business-wise - just shite games). The one good thing to come out of Bethesda's acquisition of the FO licence was making it a contract of the sale that the first cut of Herve's proceeds had to go to paying the ex-Interplay employees who were still owed paychecks. Might be part ofwhy so many other folk in the gaming industry are so hesitant to call Bethesda out on their flaws.

Interplay was raping Fallout before bethseda even thought about buying the license. Bethseda wouldn't even have access to the Fallout license if herve hadn't been a dick and canceled the real Fallout 3 in favor of a steaming pile of shit.

So Beth makes shit games but act fairly, oh well, this makes me proud of having bought Morrowind twice, when has come out and the GOTY edition with expansions.

The judge didn't dismiss any of Bethesda's claims, just their motion to order Interplay into stopping ts work on Project V13 and its sales of the Fallout Trilogy until the case is decided.

Herve is the good guy here. By the time he joined Interplay, damage was done.

I wonder if Herve pre-rolled all the lower numbers away from his saving throw dice.
