5.75 Million: Cost for Fallout Franchise To Bethesda

It's official, Bethesda Softworks has picked up the IP to Fallout for USD $5.75 million bucks...
"New filings with the SEC show that Oblivion and current Fallout 3 developer Bethesda Softworks has officially purchased the Fallout series IP from current holders Interplay for $5.75 million, with Interplay now acting as licensee for its own planned Fallout MMO."

Yes, that's right, the famous Fallout series has been picked up by a company that has mastered the RPG, Bethesda. There really isn't anything bad you can say about the company that gave us Elder Scrolls and this seems like a well fit purchase.

Is this good or bad for the series?

"Prior to the purchase, Bethesda was licensing the Fallout IP from Interplay as it has continued to develop Fallout 3, its own sequel to the cult-classic post-apocalyptic RPG series first developed by Black Isle Studios in 1997."
