    A recent press release from Bioware states that Bioware, along with Parallax, have filed suit against Interplay for unpaid royalties.

    A lawsuit has been filed against Interplay Entertainment Corp. by Canadian software developer BioWare Corp. BioWare alleges in its complaint that Interplay has breached two contracts with BioWare by sublicensing distribution of BioWare games to third parties without the knowledge or consent of BioWare.

    A lawsuit has been filed against Interplay Entertainment Corp., British distributor Virgin Interactive and French company Titus Interactive S.A., by BioWare Corp., a Canadian software developer, and Parallax Software Corporation, a software developer based in Champaign, Illinois. The complaint alleges that there are additional royalties due to both BioWare and Parallax.

    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.

    Here is a short follow-up statement from Bioware posted at RPGVault:
    Regarding our recent announcement of action against Interplay, we can't really comment, as it is before the courts. Please be assured that development at BioWare is continuing. Neverwinter Nights is shaping up nicely and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic is also progressing according to plan.
