Company News IPLY post report doom

So you would've made a tidy profit if you'd bought a handful of shares at 2.5 cents then sold them at 4 cents.

I've been trying to get back ahold of Luke

Why does fry still think Luke is going to give him some super-dooper answer?

 

[Walks with the Snails]

Frymuchan needs to spend less time talking with Luke and more time practicing: "You want fries with that?"

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Does Luke even work there still?

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

Luke works for an independent PR firm that handles IPLY's shareholders for them. As such, what does Fry think Luke is going to tell him? Holy shit, Fry, the company is really ass fucked, you better sell that shit while you can! is never going to come from Luke.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Well, it Luke might say that when he finds out Chucky can't afford to pay him.

Nah, Herve just skimps on the unimportant stuff like rent, employee salaries, server space, license renewals, etc. The PR guys always get paid.

Which, when you think about it, would be something a smart shareholder would be strongly questioning. Shareholder PR is nice and all, but it's not going to sell the company nor is it going to make any games to keep the company afloat.

The only thing Interplay can sell at this point are it's existing assets. They can't get money to develop a game for another publisher because they have no developers, no place to house those developers while they're developing, and so on. Who's going to buy a game company that's no longer capable of making games? But they have someone contractually bound to answer frymuchan's emails. What could be more important than that?

If I had tens of thousands of dollars on the line, I'd sure as hell wonder why a company that can no longer make the products it's supposed to because it hasn't paid all kinds of important things, but has kept on paying some other company that employs someone who's entire job appears to just be repling to my emails with, Expect big things to happen this week.

It's not like IPLY has a shitload of shareholders to warrent that expense even if they could afford to pay all their bills. I could halfway understand the expense if Interplay wasn't so fucked and nearly 80% of the shares weren't owned by Titus/Eric/Herve. Really, there's not much of a good reason why IPLY couldn't have handled that in-house given how many shares of the company are owned by the company people and a few other companies that work with that company.
