Don't care.

An expert in avoiding being butt raped by publishers? That's nice.

Seems like Obsidian has it's priorities in the right place. Hire pretty but unskilled women for marketing purposes and lots of useless, company bloating middle management, meanwhile let interns do all the game design and leave all the banalcing to Sjwyer. Pump out one souless, boring, insipid piece of shit "slam dunk" after the other.

Doesn't work for Obsidian (AFAIK). She's a presenter/host (as the linked site itself tells you) and had other panels aside from Obsidian.

Should we go through their entire history and other companies for people that crossed Obs path? Because thats going to be a long one. And one that reaches far back in the past.

Is this the same guy? http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,12621/ Cause if so, they possibly go back all the way to Interplay.

If you're implying that the women working at Obsidian are worse gamers than the men working there, you're wrong (thought admittedly this might not be much of an achievement).

Incline then. Sacrifice was amazing game and had best map editor/scripter ever.

That's a very colorful way of saying you did good at human resources

Noted. I guess Obsidian hiring a "director of publishing", and this guy turns out to be the executive producer of Sacrifice is today's "Decline turns to Incline". I don't know anything about this guy but if he was involved in Sacrifice he must be a bro.
