BioWare vs. Interplay @ GameSpy

With the current BioWare/Interplay lawsuit, you really have to wonder what is going to happen with Neverwinter Nights. Well, GameSpy’s latest GameSpin article gives us some insight on the possible outcomes and what choices BioWare has if Interplay does not publish NWN. There are several quotes from Wizards of the Coast’s business manager as well, such as this one:

“Interplay owns the rights to do a game and BioWare does not. BioWare has developed a nice game with Neverwinter Nights,” Valterra said. “But we don’t have any other rights to sell to BioWare. Infogrames has all the rights to make D&D games now, except for what Interplay’s contract calls for.”

After reading the article, I’m actually a bit depressed. If things don’t get resolved between Interplay and BioWare, it looks as though NWN’s future is pretty bleak.
