Josh Sawyer Q&A Thread

[Prime Junta]

Some random dude came into my monastery asking stuff with tattoo sleeves like that, I could see a monk reacting that way.

I bet that monk would tell Josh rainbows mean something else.

They can't have hooked up. It would have caused a hipster singularity dense enough to collapse the Universe on itself.

He has got to be joking.

 

[Wunderbar]

He's Sailor woedica, of course he's aware about "Soywer" jokes.

[Sentinel]

wtf is this guy talking about

 

[Infinitron]

We were talking about full-length gameplay videos, but it's true that what he said could also apply to trailers or anything else.

He said "trailer" and "videos". He also said the Cyberpunk channel has 158k subscribers, but that's CDPR's channel, which doesn't have the videos. The man is senile.

That wouldn't make any sense, because the full length gameplay videos weren't given to IGN or GameSpot.

Since Obs games don't have their own channels, he assumed and came up with 2 asses it seems.

575,000 is still significantly fewer than 4 million.

575,000 is still significantly fewer than 4 million.

Yet the official upload has 9.67 million views, more than both GameSpot uploads combined.

He could've made some sense if he was talking about extremely small studios who may not even have a YT channel, but he used the most hyped game from E3 as an example. He didn't even search for other games to see if what he said is true, otherwise he would've seen that it doesn't apply to any other moderately popular game at E3 either. In fact most of the big ones have more views on official channels, just like CP2077. And even if that wasn't the case, it didn't cross his mind that publishers would be leaving a lot of views and a non-insignificant amount of money on the table by not uploading the videos on YT.

As hyped game as Cyberpunk 2077 is, they could really drive people to their own channels with the videos they post, they could get millions of views on the gameplay videos alone, and get the ad-money from youtube, which might not be huge, but still one extra income stream. They could get some nice extra money if they'd get many videos with even about million views each. Why let someone else get that money instead?

cyberpunk 2077 could get millions of views on anything just by having keanu reeves retweet it

Damn dude it’s just a tumblr post not a history exam

 

[Diggfinger]

I hate Josh but also love him. Like he's the kind of dude I'd wanna punch a lot, but also the kind of dude I wanna be. Like when gays are secret gays and become pastors and tell everyone gays are bad but make out with dudes in bathrooms.

funny as hell, well done

Surely but he doesn't seem like a person that spends time on the internet.
From what I see he doesn't even have an official social media account .. probably just an email account

Searched "No Cartridge" and got no results, sorry if it's been posted:

At long last, an audio production of our classic April live show where I was joined with the immortal Liv, who helped me talk with Obsidian's Josh Sawyer about Darklands, Fallout, and his origins as a legendary narrative mind in games. Not to be missed!

He throws out the old "Junktown had a surprise ending slide" thing I've heard a few people say. Wiki says:

In the original write-up of Junktown, the "ending sequence" was reversed from its final incarnation. See the alternate endings for the original versions, which were changed because the marketing department decided at the last minute that the game had to "reward good and punish bad".[1]

Was there an actual released version of the game that had the grim ending for Killian/happy for Gizmo? I played it late, and mine was definitely Killian happy/Gizmo bad.
