"While I was there" is funny, wasn't he there from the beginning?

Yes, Obsidian was always intended to Feargus Urquhart's big payout.

Also, "always looking" puts the whole PoE campaign into a different perspective. The violins in the beginning of the PoE making video take on a new meaning - "we were about to go bankrupt instead of keep making rpgs instead of being sold down the line with profit for the owners".

A bit of deception on their part considering that the tank MMO was what was keeping the place running.

Self-Ejected to keep making good games, but forgets the entire games industry is built this way.

Also never makes any other games

Good fucking riddance. 'Bout time.

Thank you Feargus.

Chris is right about all of these concerns. I think it's time to write Obsidian off.

This is what you get for not buying Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire.

There's 9 different SKUs, crashes on launch, and forces you to use a touch interface even when only KB&M are detected.

Klobrille is just milking this, watch as his next tweet continues with his "These things can fall through you know" talk.

It's unlikely we'll get any proper confirmation until the Xbox event in November.

Tim Cain, how are you today?

elated, I hear at Microsoft they were very enthusiastic about replacing character stats with a triangle so the player base can now include first graders

Chris keeps ranting about a new company culture but it's not like the current one let Obsidian make a lot of good games in the last 7 years.

Yeah, relax people, he's done random Obsidian-Microsoft logo photoshops before this.

Random? If he keeps doing them deliberate intent is implied.

There's a Cheesecake Factory in Mexico City, maybe some brave Codexer should setup a stakeout.
