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.

larian games
game writing is also “simpler” to get right imo: take the fact that larian used the EXACT SAME HOOK Dark Urge/Fane for BG3 and DOS2 and they both hit hard. Most games don’t take the time to flesh out a “situation” for the player to be in that is interesting and maybe focus on particular characters or worldbuilding or something but think about how easy ‘you were the bad guy from the start’ is to make interesting as a twist for a player of a game a lay up of expectation subversion. Will any game be able to top FNV giving you that smug “yeah I’m back you bastard” when you walk up to
at the casino?
