Perhaps, but Feargus once stated that besides having a healthy mix of console/PC and own IPs/third-party franchises in development, Obsidian always intends to have one PC hardcore-RPG in development too, even if that means they have to fund it largely from their own pockets. I find this attitude admirable, because they're actually aware of the risk of not always making 100% profitable games.
Anyway, MOTB was awesome, not matter what the "professionalist" say.
