It seems that thebattle overFalloutis over… for now. A U.S. District Court judge has denied Bethesda’s motion for a preliminary injunction against publisher Interplay. The ruling came down this week and was discovered byDuck and Cover, but has been confirmed by morereputable sourcesas well. The ruling means that Interplay will not only get to continue to sellFallout 1, 2andTacticson its own, but can also continue to make theFalloutMMO thatwe got a peak atthanks to the case.
If you’ve been following the case you know that this is a pretty big set back for Bethesda, who claimed that Interplay was confusing customers with its packaging of theFallouttrilogy and also was not living up to its end of the bargain when it came to developing the MMO. Neither company has reacted yet to the ruling, but we’re sure to hear something from someone’s lawyers at some point. Most likely this isn’t over, but maybe Bethesda will back off for a bit.
Any thoughts, Interplay lovers? Bethesda defenders, are you upset?
