A couple days ago, we learned that Bethesda had hired new lawyers and would be appealing the decision made for the preliminary injunction with Interplay. Duck and Cover has obtained more transcripts from the legal battle (click the link for the full transcripts). DAC also posted a few bullet points from the transcripts for those of us who are intimidated by walls of text, or simply can't read. Take a look at the synopsis after the jump.
- Interplay believes that Bethesda purposefully made the language vague as to what "secured funding" means, as Bethesda's COO Mr. Leder couldn't even tell the court what it meant.
- Bethesda claims people called up their customer service complaining about the Fallout Trilogy pack from Interplay
- Interplay doesn't believe that
- Bethesda says Interplay was represented by lawyers when negotiating the contracts
- Interplay says that isn't true, it was just Herve Caen
- Interplay claims that Bethesda purposefully made the language vague as to what "commenced full-scale development" means
- Project V13 won't be out for at least 2-3 years
- If Interplay loses the court battle, they will just change PV13 to not reference any Fallout things. They would basically just make a new IP.
