Just checked out Gamespy Daily and found this bit of info:
"On Thursday, November 29, 2001, Canadian software developer BioWare Corp. terminated its contract with Interplay Entertainment Corp. to develop its latest computer game, Neverwinter Nights. BioWare announced that, though it has ended its association with Interplay on the project, it is looking forward to releasing Neverwinter Nights on schedule, early in 2002.

Development at BioWare is continuing on both Neverwinter Nights and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic as well as on other as yet unannounced projects. BioWare had previously filed lawsuits against Interplay, alleging that Interplay has breached contracts with BioWare by sublicensing distribution of BioWare games to third parties without the knowledge or consent of BioWare.

BioWare had also joined with Illinois software developer Parallax in a lawsuit against Interplay alleging that Interplay, British Distributor Virgin Interactive, and the French company, Titus Interactive, had failed to pay royalties due BioWare and Parallax games, BioWare is the developer of a number of highly popular and successful award-winning computer games, including Shattered Steel, MDK2 (for the PC, Sega Dreamcast and Sony Playstation 2 platforms), Baldur’s Gate, Baldur’s Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast, Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn and the recently-released Baldur’s Gate II: Throne of Bhaal.

Parallax has developed a number of highly popular and successful award-winning computer games, such as Descent, Descent II, Descent II: The Infinite Abyss and Descent Freespace."

What does this mean ladies and gents? Well Bioware has taken action in the lawsuit, so if Volition Inc. and Outrage in joint as Parallax are taking an action it'll be news in the near future.

Also thanks to GreyWolf 2009 to helped bring this info into the limelight.

Dude, this is the first time I've made the news here since GTD Wolf was launched the first time.
