Should we include games Interplay has developed or at one time published but no longer has the rights to OR should we only put down games that Interplay owns on the right right bar for known products. Clearly Fallout/Planescape are the most known Interplay products of yester year but Interplay does not own either one now days. If we include things Interplay does not own -- would we include Star Trek in the games list? See the problem. Of course we could just leave it as it is and go with whats associated w/ Interplay at a glance. If so we need to add IceWind Dale back to that list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.81.94.75 ( talk) 17:02, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

I think we should include all games that Interplay has previously published and then include a list of current, known IP's.
Shouldn't the article's title be "Interplay Entertainment Corp."? The "Corp." is part of their name ( eg.), and using Apple, Inc as precedent for the use of abbreviations in a title for companies' names. That title on the Apple article drops the period at the end of the abbreviation, but it's still valid precedent. Should this be moved to the correct namespace?

And does the list only include internally developed games or as games published?-- Craigboy ( talk) 07:46, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Wow, they managed to generate net income ($1.03 million) in 2010? They must be selling some game rights for hefty sums -- Infestor ( talk) 03:29, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
A few things for Niemti to ponder.
reply - I do not know if I would call the release of Descent 1 and 2 on steam trivial. It is the biggest release they have had in years revenue wise. It should replace a lot of lost revenue from losing the Fallout series (Dec 31, 2013 revenue stopped per the settlement)
In a meantime, you can now wait for any other watchers here to agree with you. (That's including but not limited to me.) -- Niemti ( talk) 15:36, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
~~50.83.87.8~~:Cronological list makes little sense. If you can not provide that Wikipedia has a standard of chronological over alphabetical then you have no grounds for disorganization. Looking at Activision and others they are chronological yet EA is alphabetical. Generally speaking people can find a product list faster in alphabetical format as not everyone knows the exact release date of products spanning over 20 years.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.83.87.8 ( talk • contribs)
Due to a lack of SEC documents we really do not know any financial details after the summer of 2011. They did however settle with Bethesda for $2 million a few years back and currently are trying to collect judgement against TopWare (200k) for the Battle Chess lawsuit (source = Pacer legal system). Maybe instead of unknown we could list the revenues and losses from the 2011 10-Q's?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.83.87.8 ( talk • contribs)

Added WikiProject Companies and WikiProject California banner, rated start class and mid importance. The problem is that the lead section needs expanding. The section Becoming a publisher are unreferenced and needs to add citations, in including the Descent was released in 1995. "The company then reported several years of losses, as titles such as Descent 3 and FreeSpace 2 had lackluster sales" is unreferenced at the section Financial troubles.

" ...the company altered its licensing agreement with Bethesda Software..." This line has no context, since this is the first time in the article that even mentions Bethesda or a licensing agreement. And without even a citation it's completely meaningless. 96.28.39.103 ( talk) 23:30, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
"In 1998, Interplay's financial issues went under dire with the company threatened to be placed under bankruptcy due to status in the banktruptcy court." This statement feels unnatural; almost as if it were written in another language and translated with low-quality software. Jacob p12 ( talk) 02:04, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
