Obsidian has been a tragic company, always with dreams much more expansive than the budgets they have. They have been on the verge of going away forever once.
Enter POE, and now POE2. Apparently the press loves POE2; not much to us, but the press holds the power, in some ways. They have been giving it 10/10s. POE2 is one of Steam's current best sellers. I guess Obsidian's curse has been lifted? Does the press pay attention to them now?
What this means is, they can't cry now saying "this game turned out shit because the budget wasn't enough". I know POE2's budget has been limited, but as Obsidian gains more and more power, their future releases might as well be well funded.
This means either we'll get amazing games in the future, or maybe Obsidian grows complacent and they become a mainstream developer. What do you think is more likely?
