Never heard of Stormlands before. Shame though, I like Obsidian a lot

This cancellation almost killed Obsidian, they had to lay off staff and go to kickstarter to stay alive.

Ah, I see. Researching this: Stormlands was 2012, Obsidian had to lay off people after the cancellation and then came the successful Kickstarter for Pillars. I think Obsidian is better off with crowdfunding than with classical publishers, and they seem to think so too, as Pillars 2 is also in crowdfunding:
