After the release of Fallout 3 in 2009, Interplay, the original publishers of the Fallout decided to reissue the original Fallout games in a triple pack called Fallout: Trilogy. The new licence holders did not like this as they believed the similar names between the two products would lead to confusion. Therefore, Bethesda decided to sue Interplay only for them to deny the charge and make a countersuit of their own.
