Legal Dispute
In 2007, Bethesda bought the Fallout franchise and all of it's legal rights from Interplay for $5.75 million. However, Bethesda granted Interplay the rights to develop a Fallout MMO, with 12% revenue going to Bethesda. But, Interplay had not created said MMO, by the date that was permitted, and campaigned for more time, even going to court. Bethesda won the battle, being the "sole owner, and proprietor" of the franchise. This ruined any chances of the MMO ever being created, and Project V13 (Fallout Online) was shut down.
