I don't think that's what was being said. I think the point was just that whereas Bethesda tends towards somewhat binary choices, Obsidian tends to have more nuance. (And also better writing.)

PS4, XBONE, or Switch.

What the hell is this crap?

lol ok mate

I think the overall point of the video is that the Xbox One has little to no exclusives that won't also come out on PC, and what exclusives it does have aren't as compelling as the exclusives available on PS4 and Switch.

Personally not a fan but here's a pro: it allows you to play some games.

Hmmm looks like pretty much everyone likes it. Good.

Oh fine. Wizardry 8, Slay the Spire, Overwatch.

Wizardry 8. It's actually a very different type of game from what I think The Outer Worlds will be, but it has the distinction of being my co-favourite RPG with a game that I am hoping The Outer Worlds bears some similarities to: Alpha Protocol.

As far as The Outer Worlds is concerned, Microsoft is not the publisher.

'Figuratively'. The word you're looking for is 'figuratively.'

*laughs in PS4*

Demo is short and rough but extremely promising. I will be keeping an eye on this.

I don't remember either of them saying that was the reason they wanted their own IP, and I don't believe even slightly that that was their main motivation. The reason they wanted to be bought by a publisher was for financial stability. They wanted to be able to keep all of their employees employed and not have to worry about needing to lay people off (again) because a project got cancelled. In your later paragraphs you appear to be directing blame Obsidian's way for the current store situation of The Outer Worlds. This is misguided; this was 100% a Private Division decision.

This decision had nothing to do with Obsidian.

OK first of all I have never cuckolded a chair, you take that back right away. Second of all, it's due out on 25 Oct 19, but not on Steam. 25 Oct 20 on Steam. Some people are upset about this.

This game is done, dude. They're just bugfixing now. It's coming out in like two months.

Swap the 'C' out for a 'U' and you could have STUPID. Checked out thesaurus and all I could find was 'urbanity' for 'charm'.

I just skimmed some pages and did someone just say they had a baby semi recently, congrats, that is cool, babies are cool.

One or two of the 'stupid arguments' that you think you're refuting aren't simply reasons that people think games shouldn't have romances; they are reasons that the developers of this game have announced that there will definitely not be romances in this game.

Oh and actively voicing displeasure at a publisher's decision ahead of the release of a game would be a very poor business move. You are severely out of touch with reality if, having all the facts at your disposal, you still find it in yourself to blame Obsidian for any aspect of this timed exclusivity.

Are you literally incapable of reading? This was not their action. This was not their decision. Obsidian did not choose to go Epic (timed) Exclusive. It was entirely the decision of Private Division.

If you fully understand what is at play, why are you on the developer's forums lecturing them on 'their current behaviour' and their 'action' when this decision had nothing to do with them?

It tells me that you don't understand how developer/publisher relationships work, and haven't been following this game sufficiently to understand that Obsidian did not make this decision.
