Yesterday, the Internet jumped the gun on declaring the Bethesda v. Interplay court battle won after an overzealous source erroneously told enthusiast site Duck and Cover that Bethesda dropped an appeal to block Interplay from developing a Fallout MMO. Today, Bethesda tells us the real story.

The crux of the issue is that Bethesda does not want Interplay to make a Fallout MMO, despite originally leaving them the option to develop one. Check out our time line of the case here.
Bethesda's Pete Hines told GamePro this morning that "All claims in Bethesda's complaint against Interplay remain pending in their entirety and will be pursued actively."
In other words, it ain't over yet.
