I just wonder who will pick up the torch. Because the niche previously populated by inXile and Obsidian now suddenly stands empty.

it is confirmed.
And Brian Mitsoda too.
Not his wife though. She's a cunt.
What did she do?
So I haven't been following this: but it seems MCA gave this game his seal of approval, and now it's gonna b really gud?.
Father Frost's presents under the yolka would like to have a word with you.Christmas is the only relevant holiday at this time of the year.
Even godless heretics celebrate Christmas still because Christ is too top tier to deny the power of. They'll talk shit but they'll be wrestling with their big pine tree in two weeks time when they need to throw it out.

On the face of it, that is exactly right.
I don't think it was about credit. The original comparison was essentially "KOTOR2 style but bigger and better". Chris has many regrets and criticisms re: KOTOR2, so the name-dropping to build hype must've rubbed him the wrong way.What’s so hard to understand about MCA’s trolling here? Obsidian compared TOW to KOTOR 2, MCA’s baby, and it clearly made him very pissed off. At this point we know Avellone really dislikes when people incorrectly give him credit for work he didn’t do. Imagine how he feels when he sees new Obsidian devs seemingly taking credit for stuff he mostly did with people who are no longer at the company.
I don’t think his butthurt is super justified, though. Obsidian brought up KOTOR2 because it’s a good example of the hub based system that they’ll be using, and, given the prevalence of open worlds these days, KOTOR2 was the smart analogy.
I think he's saying that KotOR 2 tried for too much content in too little development time, and trying to go for even more would be a bad takeaway from KotOR 2's development. To have fallen so far and learned nothing, that would be failure.As far as I know, nobody who worked on KOTOR 1 worked on KOTOR 2, yet KOTOR 2 had the same structure more or less.
I don't know what Chris is trying to achieve by pointing this out.

Quitting it.I don't think it was about credit. The original comparison was essentially "KOTOR2 style but bigger and better". Chris has many regrets and criticisms re: KOTOR2, so the name-dropping to build hype must've rubbed him the wrong way.
What doesn't rub him the wrong way when it comes to Obsidian?
