R.I.P to Turn-based RPG games from Obsidian.....

I rather liked Pillars of Eternity 1 & 2 as well.
This is sad news, if their gonna make xbox exclusive games in the future and likely not the turn based story drive dungeons & dragons style rpgs...
for everyone.

I think this is bad news, as a fan of their latest works.

Did you read the article?

"A person familiar with goings-on at Microsoft said the company has been looking to bolster its PC development, which makes the PC-focused Obsidian a perfect fit."

But instead of makeing AA sized, turn based isometric rpgs (like pillars of eternity).... that go onto Steam + GoG.com

Now we ll get AAA sized action rpgs, that only go to windows store + xbox.... Atleast thats my fear (thats still a bolstered pc development).
