I can see how sticking with a series that didn't sell too well would do wonders for their stock profile.  :confused:

Hmmmm. 7c, eh? MVE copyrights, eh?

Interesting.

When it drops to 1c I'll buy a few thousand shares, see if I can wrangle some benefits from their downfall.

Freespace didnt make any money because it was unadvertised, I only learned of it after a close friend introduced it to me last year.

They're either claimed by debtors or auctioned off to raise the cash to repay Interplay loans and commitments (wages etc).

If someone were to buy a controlling interest in Interplay they could sell all the copyrights for £1 and truly screw the company and its associates.

Dude, Vivendi is one of the biggest companies in the entertainment industry.

Didn't they start out as a sewage company or something?

Yeah, but they'd get punished.  It's illegal to knowingly neglect or harm the finances of a company.

wouldn't change much, it's a fact, space sims don't sell well anymore. Why do you think microsoft try mouse control and all that crap for freelancer? to try and get more customers. won't work, if you ask me, I doubt the joystick is the reason why people won't play space sims.
