Investment Includes Stake in Common Stock & Warrants

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — March 17, 2010 — Interplay today announced that DotCorp Asset Management has acquired 11,625,000 shares of common stock, (including 4.6 million shares of existing treasury stock previously held by Interplay), and a warrant to acquire up to 7.5 million additional shares.

Man, that sounds like an awesome company. I wonder what company he's talking about. It sure doesn't sound like the one we've been tracking for the last 10 years or so.
 
OMG we shall now be sorry we did not all buy lots and lots of stock when it was dirt cheap which henceworth it will obviously not be
 
Actually I'd imagine this heavily dilutes the stock now.

Honestly the only thing that'll make the stock rise at this point is probably Project V13 being released and a hit. Or possible looking really good in its promotional phase, if it ever haves one.

Hang in there, Interplay investors, your genius investment has put untold riches in your path!

(lol)

For all the manly strutting of Captains of Industry and the cold, cruel scheming of Robber Barons of the Stock Markets, it keeps coming back to mobilizing the emotional mob mentality.

The irrational exuberance factor.

Funny how when hard math balance sheets are juiced by faith based systems and appear to run on the same rails as belief in fairies,

( just clap your hands kids!).

O.K. how is all this any different than any other medium for the POWER of POSITIVE ... believing .... or any 12 steps you choose to ...

Faith based economics a.k.a. The Church Of Capitalism a.k.a. Orionquest's "little thin slices of air" = currency of this ethereal realm.

Belief is reality.

Nearly everything that the public has been led to believe is a lie, or illusion is perhaps a better word, but it's their belief that makes it real, makes the wheels turn.
 
So how much are Interplay stocks for the time being?
How fun would it not be to invest a certain amount of money in Interplay and against all ods see the creature grow and in some sick perverted way both hating it and loving it at the same time...

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a huge media blitz and hype bubble at some point. Stock will rise, early buyers will get the fuck out, stock will fall, product will fail (if it even gets released at all).
 
Nobody is even considering the fact that Interplay actually have a chance of creating this game and releasing it. It's all just "it won't make it past the promotional phase" or "it'll never be released".

We all know Herve doomed the company (and Fallout, in turn) with FO: PoS but it seems Interplay is at least standing up on its own two feet again.
 
It amazed me that other studio's seem to die quick, painless deaths, while Interplay has been dragging itself around in a near-death state for what seems like decades.

You're thinking development houses. They tend to die quick deaths. Publishers, especially those with a massive backlog of IPs, rarely die quick. Interplay is not an exception, it's just how it goes.

Enough to produce an MMO, let alone a competent one?

One wonders.

You're 100% correct... I was thinking of companies like Pandemic which released a game and then died a week later.
