This is bad for Interplay, they just killed their biggest source of PC games. They will probably move to console only.
Except for the cancellation of Fallout 3 I am happy about this. The pc rpg scene has been messed up with mostly only bad title being released, and we need some new companies. These days, all the big companies think about is trying to change roleplaying games into action games to get as much an audience as possible, but their hybrids end up pleasing no one.
Most PC games companies are dying. My prediction is that most of the big ones will closes or get smaller, and for a while we might get very few pc games. Until we get some new companies.
I blame bad design decisions and too much spamming of bad games more than I blame piracy. It seem to me that more than 75% of the PC games that get released are uninspired unfinished products and clones pushed out to make a quick buck.
