Eh. If I couldn't separate game devs from the games they make, I'd just be huddled in a corner reading old TRPG books.

after the recent developments in the MCA thread, I can't enjoy this one anymore :(

If you go back and rate some more of my posts that are critical of Obsidian retadred or butthurt, it might make you feel better. It certainly seems to work for everyone else who blindly believes that Obsidian and its employees are above all criticism.

I can't say I told you so, because in this case I only smelled something vaguely rotten and not the exact particulars... but I imagine more developments will be forthcoming in the near future. For one thing, the new game will be going gold very soon.

I love that warm, tingly, tight feeling I get in my tum-tum when my smugness quotient reaches critical mass. It's great. :smug: The timing of MCA's reveal couldn't be better, since I've largely been absent from Obsidian threads for the past year; one day after I really start arguing with Obsidrones in earnest,

This further proves that Obsidian is merely a front company meant to funnel money to European far-right parties while also garnering some support ideologically. When we include these new facts about how dysfunctional the studio is despite the face they put on, it's clear that this dumpsterfire is not coming out.

Moreover there is a bigger dumpsterfire than the game, and that's the company itself. Let it burn until it fizzles out.

Now that I remembered Katrina left Obsidian for Blizzard Entertainment, I guess Feargus was right - as always- He just can't secure his personnel when your next-door neighbors are AAA. Sawyer will be leaving after some patches done too. Maybe it will be best for Obsidian to move elsewhere? Europe perhaps?

Anyone who gives a penny to Obsidian from now on is going straight to hell.

Well we know what the theme of their upcoming masterpiece is.

This is truly incredible.

Name-dropping celebrity writers and developers is a large part of what has helped Obsidian popularize their crowdfunded projects, but yeah guys we should separate game devs from the games they make.

I’m typing this on a phone probably made by a 15-year-old girl working 16-hours a day, 6-days a week for weekly paycheck that is less than what I spend on lunch on an average day, plus I own stock in the company that makes it.

I think my soul will manage through the pain and besmirchment of playing a game made by a company who may or may not have asked a grown ass man to sign an overly restrictive NDA that he had every right and ability not to sign.

You guys think there will be an impact on the sales, now that the 'smaller/independent dev' masquerade is over and the company is outed for being evil capitalists?

"Guys?"

I speak for myself. If a one-sided story in a forum post is enough to make people drop a game, that's up to them.

What the fuck does it take, then? How big of a turds they have to turn out to be for you and other shills to stop sucking that cock?

If wanting to hear management's side before blindly accepting the story of an angry ex-employee makes me a cocksucker, then I'll happily call myself a dirty whore.
