Interplay Entertainment Corp (CE) (IPLY) Cotización

thanks for updating everyone

I'm also hoping for a better regulatory environment under the Trump Administration. I don't know if they plan on allowing penny stocks that don't report earnings to trade again, but if they did, that would be awesome, both for us shareholders, and also for other investors.

I was surprised and pleased that Interplay's lawyer responded to my inquiries about this. He said the transfer agent is called Transfer Online. He said they are working with the state of delaware, where they are incorporated, and are hoping to get the necessary documents and wrap everything up by the end of next week. He said once it is listed officially, then the brokerage can be informed and reinstate the shares.. I'll continue to post here if I receive any other information.

I heard about this back in May 2023. How long does it take? I hope it happens and also not counting on it.

Thanks for the info.

It's extremely positive that Interplay is seeking to protect shares of the stock by getting a new transfer agent. It shows they care about protecting the stock which suggests they want to someday sell or merge the company. 💪

Yep. I checked in with interplay and they said they are getting a new transfer agent. They said the stock will be reinstated once they get a new transfer agent automatically. They said if not, you can start a manual process through the transfer agent. I'll post info once I have it

Got an email yesterday from Schwab. They are removing Interplay stock from my accounts.It's been six years and no way to transfer or trade. No stock certificates to take position of.

I just received this notice from Charles Schwabb


We recently learned that your account(s) listed below holds securities that have no known market and have had no transfer agent service available for the securities for the past six years. Without a transfer agent, the securities are deemed to be non-transferable.

What this means for your account(s).
Because we’re unable to custody non-transferable securities, we’re removing the securities below from your account(s) and will no longer include them in your online or print statements. You will see the removal as an "Adjust Position" entry on your upcoming statement and within your transaction history. For taxable accounts, this action will not be reported to the IRS

Does anyone know something to do about this?

Yeah, I thought it was a really good show... I don't understand how there's been no info on Earthworm Jim cartoon by now

I haven't heard anything but, I haven't been looking either.

I did watch Amazon Prime's season one live-action Fallout series. I thought it was pretty good. Not that it helps Interplay.

Radio silence... Has anyone heard anything?

Does anyone know if Republicans win if they are planning on allowing penny stocks to trade without having to report earnings and if that would allow interplay to trade again?

Anything? Anything? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

I've tried multiple times to contact the company and they do not respond to me.

I haven't seen anything (in a quick look).

Soooooo quiet.... I wonder what is happening with Earthworm Jim cartoon.

Weird and random new development...

Interplay was not listed as an attendee at MIPTV 2024. Hopefully they found somewhere else to show Earthworm Jim cartoon at

For April 2024
"Amazon Prime Gaming members can also get a few extra games to play through the Amazon Luna channel, as Earthworm Jim 2, Smurfs Kart, Airhead, Sail Forth, and Metronomicon are being added to the library of that service."

I've been watching the Kingpin Reloaded discord conversation. Looks like several, maybe all, of the developers of Kingpin were laid off. It's also seeming like interplay decided to cut its losses and not try to further fix the game or release it on Gog. Alternatively, it could just be everything's up in the air and has to be renegotiated because of the layoffs. 🤷 either way, not helpful for the company... seems like the next thing is Earthworm Jim TV show. I would think they would try to do something with Earthworm Jim as a video game in parallel as well

It's from general research from owning stock in different entertainment companies. There are trade shows to shop TV/streaming projects to different services (broadcasters, streaming services, and or DVD printers) and other trade shows for merchandise licensing IP (intellectual property). The large studios are always there. Licensing mostly occurs (a year or two, sometimes more) before the public sees it.

Movie studios and animation studios have done it for a long time. More recently (last couple of decades) comic book and video game companies have engaged in IP merchandise licensing. It virtually free money, if you can get it.

There is some Earthworm Jim merchandise for sale on Amazon, but I haven't seen any recent updates on the animated series. I still don't know where the series will appear.

Rick, how do you know so much about the opportunities for shopping the Earthworm Jim cartoon? That's some pretty specific information. Are you in the entertainment/ video game field or did you just do some research on this? Any other tidbits or insights you have about interplay's potential future developments? It's hard to hold out hope with this stock, but your previous post about something potentially happening in April gives me something to at least think about moving forward

I haven't seen anything since "Kingpin Reloaded" came out. I have no access to their X (Twitter) page (it wants me to log in, I don't have an account). Their Facebook page is updated sporadically.

I would think that the "Earthworm Jim" animated series would be the next news to look for.

MIPTV is in April 2024 and the Las Vegas Licensing Expo is in May 2024.

MIPTV is where they would shop the show out to broadcasters/streaming services.
The Licensing Expo is for merchandise (toys, clothes, and other stuff) licensing based on the animated series

Anyone hear anything? I've tried contacting people at the company to see if they would tell me about plans for the stock, if they want to relist it, but have heard nothing back...

Patches to Kingpin Reloaded seem to be improving the game, but still much is needed... Hopefully, the developers will continue patching it, and after a few more patches, the game will run satisfactorily.

Highly doubtful, but as a long-term interplay shareholder, one can surely dream, LOL

So bad, it may become a cult hit ?!... ( No, just kidding )

Kingpin is getting horrible reviews and it's described as unfinished and full of glitches. I was guessing this was going to happen given the fact that it has been in development for years and it's just a remaster and interplay didn't even show it on its main website.

Interplay has been "marketing", very low key, on Facebook and Instagram for Kingpin Reloaded. As of yet, I don't see anything on their main web page for Kingpin Reloaded which makes me think they are not very pleased with the results...

Trailer for Amazon Prime's "Fallout" live-action series. I know IPLY doesn't own the "Fallout" IP. But, I think IPLY still have IP capable of making good live-action series/movies.


Starts April 12, 2023, if you have Amazon Prime.

Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them. From executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the creators of Westworld, starring Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins and more. Arriving April 12 on Prime Video.

It probably didn't take that long. The companies involved (except IPLY) were working on other games. It should be interesting to see what the reviews are.

This is the trailer in which lots of people are commenting that it should not have taken over 3 years for this amount of change...

This trailer shows some of the enhancements. I don't see a big change though.

Very weird situation with the new Kingpin game.. The game is not featured on Interplay's website despite supposedly coming out in two weeks. They revealed the remake 3 years ago or more, yet they just showed a trailer for the game in which the game literally looks the exact same as the original game with basically no enhancements. WTF is going on?

I agree. They don't have enough money to develop new games. They can't keep re-releasing old games forever. And, their attempt to be a third party game publisher hasn't panned out. The Earthworm Jim animated series (or maybe movie) will be a chance to lock in value for the company and shareholders. Netflix (not saying they should buy IPLY) has had success with video game IP to animated series on their streaming service. I think IPLY still has viable IP that can be developed.

They don't post on Twitter either. I think they're only option, at this point, and I think it is what they are planning, is to sell or merge the company after first getting a few things going to show the value of the company. For instance, if they can launch a successful cartoon with Earthworm Jim, the value of the company will go up exponentially in any merger or sale.

Maybe they hire someone every now-and-then to update their website.

It looks like they have things in the pipeline, but, it's going to be hard for them to get the message out. Since I don't have a X (Twitter) account, I have no access to their posts. And, it doesn't look like they keep their Facebook page up-to-date. I doubt they can pull the company out of a hole, unless they do a lot better.

Makes no sense why they don't link to everything from their website, action figures, shirts, gear, etc.

They aren't linking to Earthworm Jim shirts available on Amazon, either. It looks to be official Interplay stuff, too.

Edit
It looks like they have been available since August 1, 2023. Wonder if the Earthworm Jim Beyond the Groovy" animated thing is coming out soon-ish. There isn't much info on it.

Don't get why Interplay does not link to the toy figurines on their website or why they aren't prominently featuring Kingpin on their website due to its imminent release...

Good finds Rick!

They need to focus on game development. Not blockchain nonsense.

An interesting tid bit from Interplay's website is that they have a whole section devoted to Web3... So looks like blockchain will be a significant component moving forward. Currently the Web3 tab does not seek to link to anything

On their Discord message board, the developers for Kingpin Reloaded are saying that the PC version will be released in December, but they are not sure about the console release dates...
