Brian Fargo, the founder of Interplay and inXile Entertainment, was instrumental in the creation of Silicon & Synapse, which ultimately became Blizzard Entertainment, and has shared the story behind its inception.
On that latest episode of our monthly interview show IGN Unfiltered, Fargo first explained how he knew the guys who would go on to found Blizzard—Michael Morhaime, Frank Pearce, and Allen Adham—saying that at the time, because there was no internet, they would all trade games with each other.
Then sometime later, Adham went into the military, and upon his return, he saw what Fargo was doing with Interplay and wanted to get into the business as well. "He got back and he said, 'I want to do what you're doing. That looks great.' And I said, 'Well, let me help you.' And so we gave them their first contracts to get them launched into the business," Fargo said.
