	~~==General==~~		'''Interplay''' is an American video game publisher which published, among many other games, both ''Descent: FreeSpace'' and ''FreeSpace 2'', developed by [[Volition\|Volition Inc.]] ''Descent: FreeSpace'' met with standard sales figures; GameSpot called it "''a (Wing Commander) clone, but a good one''". FreeSpace 2 and Descent 3, however, met with lackluster sales. The company was briefly acquired by French Publisher Titus Interactive until the latter closed business in 2004. Interplay was heavily in debt by that time and received both eviction notices (for non-payment of rent) and government lawsuits (for non-payment of employees). By 2006 it made a securities filing (basically a request for loans) that allowed it to begin development of the ''Fallout'' online game.
