I thought he retired and would only come back to do Pillars 3, if it got the same budget BG3 got?

Never heard anything like that. I don't know what he was working on before MS came in and took out the trash (like Avowed 2, which pretty much ensures that PoE3 is never happening) but the report about Obsidian doing another Fallout said that Sawyer was in charge. He's just as much of a degenerate now as the art guy from Avowed who got shitcanned though so it's still not anything to be optimistic about.

Even if we are being charitable and work with the assumption that preliminary work on the game started a couple years ago, I'd be shocked if we see anything substantial in the next couple years

The impression I got was that MS just stepped in and told them to stop working on Avowed 2 (and a couple other projects that just got cancelled) and start doing a Fallout game, meaning that they don't even have the team in place yet, let alone any actual work done on the project.

They’re probably not all going to Xbox but LOL. She’s exactly doing what everyone said she was there to do - quietly sunset the brand into gamepass only hell and replace white nerds with half price street shitters.

They're not giving up on gay Oblivion that easily.

Yeah, but odds are it will still never see the light of day. It's just busy work for people they didn't want to lay off who have nothing else to do until Fallout actually starts production. From what I understand they cancelled multiple projects at Obsidian, so basically the only people with anything to do right now are the ones gearing up for Fallout and the live crew still working on Grounded 2 (which is pretty much Obsidian's only successful game/series in ages).

The companies making the consoles overpaid for the studios that crashed out instead of buying them on the cheap after they crashed out.

Because the studios also overpaid for undesirable games that took far long to make.

Without purging those studios of the political activist dykes and faeries, they will continue to fail. How many more $250 million failures can these giants take before they wake the fuck up to the real problem? How many of these people making these games actually play games anymore?
