Okay, I know 3DO is in the process of going under, but I think using their logo is a copyvio. I won't revert the article yet (to the version before the addition of the image), but I really think this is a copyvio. Please let me know if I'm wrong, or else I'll remove the image in the next few days. —Frecklefoot 15:28, 11 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Employees were laid off, and the company's game brands and other intellectual properties were sold to rivals like Microsoft, Namco, Crave, and Ubisoft, and also to founder Trip Hawkins, who paid US$405,000 for rights to some older brands and the company's "Internet patent portfolio".

Was Trip the founder? I was under the impression he took over the company in the 90s and kept it floating with money out of his already rich pocket, but I have no sources right now saying either way. Anyone confirm/deny? - Bdice 21:44, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Yes, he was most certainly the founder, I have 1993 articles and reference works confirming that.

[edit] Article needs more

This is such a small and limited article for such a huge mover and shaker in the video game idustry. I would like to see more on their downfall and their constant whoring of the army men franchise.
