Since Interplay owns the rights to Fallout I am not sure how they can be infringing on Bethesda. And as for Interplay causing “immediate, substantial, and irreparable harm” seems insane. They are upset about Interplay selling the 3 original games Bethesda had nothing to do with in any form and whose sales will only encourage more people to pick up Fallout 3. A game that they are still raking in the bucks from. Maybe I just don’t understand corporate law enough but this just seems silly.

Well, actually it is Bethesda who owns the rights. Interplay sold the it to Bethesda, which then leased some of the rights back to Interplay for the purpose of the MMO. The problem seems to be in that Interplay continues to sell the original Fallout games, something they no longer have the right to. My guess is, Bethesda doesn’t mind it as such, but they want their own logo on the box. =)

Ok that make more sense then.
