It looks like Interplay has reopened today after being shutdown last week by the Department of Industrial Relations. The reason for the shutdown was because Interplay failed to pay workers' compensation insurance. Hopefully this time they won't look past paying the little guy.
According to the Orange County Register, Interplay reopened its doors for business today after being shut down last week for failure to pay workers' compensation insurance. The Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Standards Enforcement fined Interplay $79,000 last Friday and barred its 79 employees from working, effectively shutting down all operations. However, this doesn't signal the end of drama for Interplay--the company still needs to pay off the $179,000 owed in payroll taxes and penalties, and has not paid rent for its offices in Irvine since January. In addition, the majority shareholder Titus Interactive in France filed for bankruptcy on Monday.
