I lost faith with PoE. Obsidian for me was all about potential held back by constrains of a relative kind. The need to make money, lack of time or funding and so forth. Every time they sunk into mediocrity (NWN2 main campaign) they showed that the talent was still there (Mask of the Betrayer) etc.
PoE was supposed to circumvent all that. No need to dumb things down for sales. No need to meet modern expectations, like third or first person view, super advanced graphics, fully voiced dialog, or an inflexible deadline. This was their chance to let their talent and potential flow unimpeded by everything we always assumed held them back. And they blew it.
This. But it wasn't just this. Everything just kind of led to it. This was the straw that broke the camels back, for lack of a better phrase. I still have hopes that Tim and Leon's game will be good, but I don't have illusions about it, if that makes sense. Like I know it's going to be watered down or something but I hope it won't be.
Also, the way MCA was treated was pretty fucking awful. I kind of thought these guys were supposed to be like family or something, or loyal in some way. 15 fucking years together and this is how you treat one another? What kind of shitty human beings are you all?
