RPG Codex Interview: Chris Avellone on Pillars Cut Content, Game Development Hierarchies and More

Dumbfuck!
Everyone loves to point out that MCA is "one man," but he's a man that Obsidian trotted out onto the runway countless times to show off: "YOO-HOO! WE'VE GOT AVELLONE ON BOARD, HERE! CHRIS AVELLONE, EVERYBODY! GOT CHRIS AVELLONE WRITING, BUY OUR GAMES! YOU'RE GONNA LOVE 'EM!". The point being, his word carried a lot of weight with both Obsidian and the fans up until yesterday at least. He's not the building janitor or an intern.
They have zero journalistic standards and can and do report rumors prematurely, if they want to. The only reason they won't in this case is because their paymasters (i.e., developers and publishers) wouldn't like it for reasons that should be obvious. If it were any other kind of unfounded juicy rumor that could get them clicks, it'd be up in an instant.
Your ability to delude yourself and remain in denial about certain things even in the face of so much obviousness truly beggars belief. Is it a special Israeli talent?
Rotschild gene indeed

Weren't you an Obsidian/PoE/Sawyer fanboy just until some weeks ago? I'm asking just out of curiosity, since your last comments seem much more negative than they used to be.
Btw, Avellone's claims about Feargus and upper management draw a terrible picture about them. I'd still like to hear the other side of the story, although it's not likely to happen (and MCA would be stupid to lie completely about all this stuff), but we will see.
What were we talking about again?

Holy fuck, I should be writing my master thesis, but this thread is to entertaining/interesting to get back to writing. Damn Chris if I will have to defend in september you will be one to blame. All this good Obsidian's games like KOTOR2, NWN2, MOTB, F:NV, AP, PoE it will be hard to play in them now, when I know what kind of shitty company Obsidian is. I know it's pretty stupid but I can't separate product from creator/publisher. With all this information you shared, you should finally answered on Codex ultimate question. What happened between you and Josh Sawyer? All users on Codex are dying to know the truth and create shitload of crazy theories. Enlighten us finally Chris. Please.

It is business as usual. Companies are greedy and will always do everything they can to maximize their profits. They don't think about their action in ethical terms, they think only about what they can do and get away with it. Don't trust PR liars who are there to manipulate you. There is no such think as morality in business. There are more psychopaths at the CEO positions then they are in prisons.

LOL
A few pages back he was rating every post that was critical of Obsidian "creative", suggesting that it was mere confabulation in classic passive-agressive fashion.In Infinitron's eye, anyone who says mean things about Obsidian, Larian, CDPR, HBS, PB et al. or any of their games is being an edgelord. I'm not sure if inXile is still under his protection after they've disgraced themselves so many times.
BTW, this is also how Infinitron has rated all of my posts critical of Obsidian, Larian, CDPR, HBS, PB et al. or any of their games.
Semi-annual Codex drama alert threads in a nutshell.
Thread yes but not the bombshell. The article fragments that are on the front page are nothing special compared to what's been said on the forums.
Stop stealing Fargo's parts.
you know what time it is

Was there anything more juicy than this though?
Bro, I hung up on my sister earlier than I usually would last night so I could get back to this thread. You can see the gap in my posts from about 0040 GMT to around 0150? GMT last night (for me).
Jobs have literally been quit to ensure that nothing is missed in Codex drama eruption threads.

I'm sure a memo has gone out through everyone's shock collars at Obsidian that they are not to comment in any way.

Chris Avellone,
I liked your work on Prey and D:OS2, and I look forward to System Shock remake and Kingmaker.
