I am pretty sure this is another zombie Interplay thing, pretty much all the main Black Isle people are at Obsidian.

PV13 was a codename for some never-finished Fallout sequel if I am remembering correctly. (Possibly the Fallout MMO before they lost the rights to Bethesda.)

Man, fuck that Interplay guy. Fuck him in his earhole. This is some Kickstarter style "give me money for nothing" bullshit?

Interplay raping the hollow corpse of a former developer they murdered is just the Caens learning from EA.

alternately: Black Isle wakes in a mortuary, with no memory of it's past.

In this case you're giving them money for quite literally nothing; at no level of pledging do you actually get the game he's promising.

Well, Molyneux isn't looking so shitty now.

Why am I homeless?  Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

I like this guy's quote: "In what universe do you go to an investor and ask them to invest without any tangible product or return on investment? This is quite possibly the most ludicrous thing I have ever seen. If you want to get an investment, come with a product I will receive. You are not a non-profit, a place of worship, or other well wishing organization that I can trust will take my money and put it to some good and give me a tax break on top of it all. This is despicable. Get a job."

Followed by: "That's bullcrap. They are using a fundraising site instead of Kickstarter because there is no promise of a tangible product or return on investment. They are asking for an investment. What they are giving in return is tantamount to a progress newsletter. "

So, um, does anyone know if there's anything going on with this at all? I can't find any information on it, which is hilarious. Does anyone has access to their forum or whatever?

Of course nothing is going on with this. It's a scam.

To quote myself:

The guy who owns the Black Isle name is a fucking tool who wants your money for nothing. At least Garriot will give you something shitty. This guy will give you nothing.
