Electronic Arts and Interplay severs their relationship back in the 80's but their internal production strength was amazing. Fast-forward to 2002 and Vivendi is publishing and Brian Fargo leaves. Black Isle closes down in 2003 and all hopes rest on Bioware. BioWare has what seems like a bad rift and left Interplay for Atari. I considered that the end. For all intents and purposes, that was no longer the company that brought a lot of great classics to life. Truly remarkable for a game company to last so long.

Neuromancer
