In a maneuver which is bound to surprise some people, Bethesda has decided to no longer pursue an appeal in their case against Interplay over claimed breaches of contract in regards to licensing the Fallout franchise. The appeal was for an injunction to prevent Interplay from continuing to use the license which Bethesda bought back in 2007, which would effectively kill the former's development on a Fallout MMO, rumored to be codenamed "Project V13."
According to information Duck and Cover received from an Interplay stockholder, an agreement has been reached between the two parties and Bethesda has dropped its appeal. We can probably expect to hear that Interplay has dropped its countersuit soon.
Hopefully, this means that everything is all cleared up and we might hear something about Project V13 soon, instead of all of this legal crap surrounding it.

Bethesda is still publishing it, Obsidian is still developing it. Interplay sold all of the rights to Bethesda but in the agreement, reserved itself the right to make a Fallout MMO, though there were all sorts of funding milestones that had to be reached that if they didn't meet, the rights would revert to Bethesda.
I wouldn't worry about this effecting either New Vegas or whatever pre-production work is likely happening for Fallout 4.
Besides, all the people that made the original games have long left, what makes you guys think this will be any good?
Purely because I have a strong attachment to the property and because I'm a believer in the potential of the Fallout universe, I'll give them a chance.
Though it has to be said, I gave Star Trek Online a chance too when I really shouldn't have, so perhaps I'm not the best barometer for MMOs.
Who knows if it ever will.
Would be neat though.
'Not so says Bethesda's Pete Hines. "That is still ongoing and has not been resolved. It is a minor procedural thing that took place, not a dropping of the lawsuit." '
