Fallout - History & Review #2 @ Media Consumes Me

You might remember Part 1 of this Fallout history from a few weeks back.  Part 2 is now online, picking up the story after the release of FO: Brotherhood of Steel:

Interplay was funding its projects through credit agreements, game sales, and loans from the head of the company himself, Brian Fargo. They never kept much cash at the ready, and once troubles grew out of their hands in 1999, Titus Interactive, a French based production company, acquired a majority interest in Interplay. In 2001, Brian Fargo, the original founder, left the company and Titus Interactive’s own Herve Caen took over as CEO. A deal with Vivendi Universal was signed to publish Interplays games, giving a much needed lifeline to the troubled company.
