A few days ago, we learned that Interplay's Black Isle Studios division permanently closed its doors. Black Isle debuted in 1997 with the ground-breaking role-playing game Fallout, and proceeded to single-handedly revitalize the RPG genre with huge hits like Baldur's Gate, as well as classics like Planescape: Torment. As part of the studio's closure, its yet-announced Fallout 3 project was canceled. So, a moment of silence, if you please.

Myself I own every game that Black Isle ever put their name on and I will miss them and the great RPG games they Designed.

I posted this on the Baldur's Gate forum first and thought maybe I should post it here too!
