    Strike!!

    Playing on his employees' fears is a desperate gamble by Herve. He knows that if the employees quit, they'll not be able to file for unemployment. Which would hurt them in the long run if they cannot quickly find a job. Of course, they can still file with EDD for the back pay that they...

    You can find a picture of Herve here: http://archive.gamespy.com/e32002/special/interplay/ If not, do a Google search of Herve Caen and look in the Image section. Have fun :twisted:

    IPLY going late with the Q1 report

    Just reading between the lines: Basically to give Herve a 5 day headstart from the hoarde of POed investors. . He was too busy at job interviews to notice. At least those employees that didn't quit on Friday are still showing up to work. Which is why the remaining employees keep...

    IPLY rumours

    That is very true. The only problem with Mr. Caen's current strategy is that his own "pieces" are leaving the board. Since E3 there has been a slow but continuous exodus of the remaining staff that has effectively crippled development. Herve is either too stubborn or too stupid to admit that...

    IPLY surprises?

    Herve might be a whore, but he's a well paid one. If you look at Interplay's latest filings he's pulling in two paychecks as CEO and acting CFO. Combined, "Fifi" is making $400,000+ a year. :shock:

    IPLY surprises?

    Interplay's D&D rights; possible explanation

    Actually, Herve had stopped making payments to the gentlemen that owns the Virgin Interactive brand name. So he had a choice, cough up some cash or change the name, hence the creation of Avalon Games. Titus is in deep trouble because the Caen Brothers were recently told that they had to pay...

    IPLY Meeting today!

    "I also wonder how Seanboy must feel knowing he's been working as the lead for a bullshit project. ... knowing how much it really hurts to have your creative process raped by a dirty Frenchman." Sean is a short timer compared to the others that worked on Fallout 3. Chris Avellone...

    IPLY Meeting today!

    "The cheque the devs got last week was of...$275 dollars... " At least it got some money in the employees' pockets. It also gave Herve another week to come up with more cash (ie selling IPs or selling Interplay itself) and kept the workers from filing with EDD in the 23rd. Right now...
