Interesting. On my screen it mentions the alt account, but the username is also correctly striked out.
Why RIP? They are not bought out by EA.
This news means pretty much the opposite of RIP for the studio.
They were bought out by the next worst thing to EA lol. The last time they worked with MS it was going to shut the studio down until kickstarter saved them.
I hope they finish the Pillars DLCs before MS makes them throw it all in the bin.
Sorry hombre, that's what I'm getting the bundle for ;)
Well there it is. RIP Obsidian. You may have been a shell of your past glory for many years now but I'll always remember kotor 2, AP, NWN 2 and new vegas.
I mean, they aren't calling it a bundle, this is a "pack".

MS buying Obsidian I think is a good thing. Mainly for the fact that the studio has been much like TT. Just going from contract to contract with not much more. Who knows how much time they were gonna have left with just Pillars if someone didn't pick them up.
I'd say the biggest negative will be the top down RPGs like Pillar and such are gonna disappear. Obsidian will likely go back to focusing on bigger titles in the vein of Alpha Protocol again. Though that in and of itself is pretty cool to see again too. Especially with the latest changes with Bioware at EA seemingly going farther from their roots with anthem.
I don't know which would be better. Paradox (with their huge amount of dlcs) or Microsoft (they seem nice)?
So, Fallout: New Vegas 2, Kotor 3, Pillars of Eternity 3 and Alpha Protocol 2.
Coming in 2020. Exclusive to Game Pass.
UWP on Windows, because fuck common sense, fuck Derrick01 and fuck you.
Well, they didn't even want to pick up publishing PoE2 (after doing PoE1), so obviously they just didn't mesh well with each other.

If someone ends up with a spare Osiris copy, I'll get it, I've some spares I can trade for that.
What are you saying? It's not like Telltale, not even remotely. Pillars 1 was a Kickstarter game, behind Tyranny there was Paradox, Pillars 2 was a Fig game, so they got funds first and released the games later, so they got a profit. Also Bioware isn't Bioware anymore from Dragon Age 2.
There's no way Obsidian will continue making actual CRPG's under Microsoft.
Best case scenario would be something like Alpha Protol again, but i am very certan Obsidian is gonna go the Bioware-Mass Effect route
Well, but Pillars games did well enough, they could go on by keep doing what they did until now. All the TT games were from licenses, they totally dropped new IP development. I doubt Obsidian could end in the same situation, considering there's a public for crpgs and they could still go the Kickstarter/Fig way if they wanted.Telltale was doing all their work from contracts. Majority of Obsidian was the same way. That seems pretty similar to me. Pillars just above is said to be the only IP they own and while they could probably live as a studio with just PoE games. They weren't going to get to a big level of high budget titles in that shape.
Bioware is a whole other conversation and all i'll add is thing didn't really change until DA:I imo

Well, MS looks to be set to 'bolster' their PC game.
So, what's next after Obsidian? What's the biggest damage they can make?
Larian, CDPR (obviously shutting down GOG in the process), buying Relic and Amplitude from Sega, and Firaxis from 2K. What else? Hostile takeover of Paradox? Devolver Digital?
The possibilities (of fucking up PC Gaming) are endless.
If everyone is referring to the individual who stated that they wish Steam never became a thing; then I'm really not sure why people are upset about this. The user was permanently banned prior to the reports for another reason. As such, when the reports came in, the issue was already resolved because the user was removed from the community. This really isn't a case of double standards.
*charges up chainsword*

Plus there's always the chance that maybe the Windows Store and the like start getting better.
I mean the game should still be on PC. Granted I know how many of us hate the Windows Store (Even I woudn't much bother with it, if not for Play Anywhere). But at least these upcoming games aren't going to be stuck only on a system. Plus there's always the chance that maybe the Windows Store and the like start getting better.
Most Windows store games come to Steam too right? I mean we have Recore and Super Lucky on Steam. I cant keep track of all the other "Windows store exclusives". Gears of War, Forza and Sea of Theives?
