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 was pretty disappointed with Outer Worlds 1/2, but I actually enjoyed Avowed and loved Pillars of Eternity 1/2. This could be interesting if they actually take some risks and don't try to make it blandly appealing to everyone (though I'm not super optimistic about that). BG3's breakout shows that there is a market for relatively crunchy true RPGs with good writing and production values.
