Microsoft laid of 25% of Obsidian, cancelled the Avowed sequel and is making them make something that will be profitable.
I still can’t believe that it took corpos 5 years to have this big brain idea.

Might also have been pressure from Bethesda to keep that feather in their cap and not a lot of desire from Obsidian to push the issue while they had other things going for them anyway.
Now that it’s a little more dire maybe Michael’s Soft doesn’t really care about stepping on studio leads’ toes.
I got a bad feeling about a project cooked up in a state of desperation tho. But everything I’m saying is pure speculation anyways so I guess we’ll see what’s what when it’s done.
Bethesda has been steadily losing corporate and cultural relevance, so any push from them has to be getting increasingly less effective.
It’s one thing to cater to their whims post Skyrim, but Bethesda’s been cratering.
