That is some cold shit. Obshitians are truly morally bankrupt to lock Avellone out of his fucking forum account. What's wrong with them..? Assholes.

Maybe they had to lock his account because of his constant harassment via PMs.

Depends on what you mean by older. Even more on how you grew up (influences, culture, "generational gaps" if any [for example you were born in the east EU, watching 70s films in the nineties] and so on).
And also on what you mean by 'Pink Floyd'. Wish You Were Here the album and Ummagumma are two very different "kinds" of Pink Floyd.
Anyway, it's not shit. Just takes a state of mind. A very important one too; something tells me you've yet to make the connection, or you wouldn't be calling them thus. You'd just have said you don't like them

That's why you need to leave and never return. You don't belong here with that mindset.

This might be the best criticism of the Codex ever delivered.

Considering the number of times I've cleaned out employees desks for them, not too surprised they'd pull a move like that. Probably just a kneejerk reaction from an obviously disgruntled employee.
Do we know if he left voluntarily or was fired at this point?

He quit.
Though other Obsidian employees get their Developer tag replaced with "Obsidian VIP" and are able to post normally after doing so. Apparently Chris is too much of a loose cannon to be trusted.

Maybe he sold his company shares to the "wrong" person or company, which made Obsidian pissed?

It's pretty common to place restrictions on sales of private shares. Even if he wanted to, he likely couldn't sell anything without approval of the other owners.

Chris Avellone - I hope you're using this lucrative experience as corporate slave/shill for your unnamed AAA Cyberpunk RPG.
CDP can't be the only publisher that taps into that sweet market, while Zionmax stands calmly on the side, can it?

Bethesda had done many things with great expertise. No denying that! And marketing is not something most game devs know to do well. Witness the zombie head of TNO in planescape torment.
Their writings, though! My god, their writings! It ruins everything else.

Pity Avellone can't be counted to write for a decent game, even if he becomes lead writer for Bethesda's franchises, by the time Fallout 5 comes out it will be so dumb down that npcs will talk with smileys.
Maybe Avellone can win some writer awards for inventing a new minimalistic smiley lenguage.

I'm pretty sure all he's got left in the creative tank is a card game featuring post-it note penis art.

Hey I found Avellone's Obsidian account. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/26101-designer-rambling-amnesia/
Instead of being a VIP, he's Inactive.

Better do backup of all his posts.
I never played fallout 4 because I didn't like what they did with the skills system, but if Tyranny is the 'quality' that is coming out of Obsidian now then they are just as bad as Bethedsda.
The state of play is a choice between games that are so dumbed down and hand holding with awsum buttons everywhere, or play the cool-down, wounds, 1000 shit consumables, limited resting, and most banal combat experiences. Tough choice...

Funny how the interviewer keeps trying to get Chris to throw Bethesda under the bus but he throws Obsidian instead. Hmm...
[Break Alliance] I hereby renounce my loyalty to Obsidian. From now on I will give Bethesda more credit, and stop being so hard on them, as much.
