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.

I've said this before but Fallout 4 came out in 2015. Fallout 3 came out in 2008, FNV 2010. If Obsidian has given 3 years development not 2. There could have had a sequel with the Fallout 4 engine and assets in 2018, 2021 and 2024. As well as FNV 2011 and another title 2014.

This is what was taken from us.

In particular Fallout 4 had so many nice clean assets that Obsidan could have depicted parts of the world that are rebuilt in contrast to the fringes. Unlike Fallout New Vegas where the NCR offices were still filthy and ruined trucks were stand-ins for working vehicles.
