It seems Interplay is in really big trouble despite its management's best efforts to hide that. Not only do they fall behind with the rent, but they also owe their own employees quite a lot. Even the health issurance part. Here's a clip from No Mutants Allowed:

Interplay haven't been paying the health insurance payments for the last few months, it seems IPLY recently revealed this to their employees and several just left the meeting. They also told the employees that they really didn't have to come in this week, since there's a good chance they won't be paid.

And another one from RPGCodex forums:

There's supposed to be a big meeting at Interplay on Friday (4/23). The employees are going to find out if they are getting their backpay or not.

Stories going through the grapevine said that Herve tried to sell Interplay to Vivendi this week and got laughed out of the building for the price that he was asking.

I expect Interplay to close its doors tomorrow (4/23) at least for development, and file for bankruptcy soon after.
