You guys are something else... :thumbsup:

Searching google somebody seems to be leaving tomorrow/today and used pastebin for his Company goodbye e-mail which google picked up on. Of course the text doesn't exist anymore but there is a small segment which confirms North Carolina.

I know every goodbye email sounds the same: Obsidian has made some great games and will continue with NY and NC/It's a small industry so we'll still bump ...

 

I feel like a really creepy stalker.

The letter doesn't work for me?

It doesn't. I said the text doesn't exist anymore. Just its google query.

 

Edit: The text changed... Is it in googles cache? How do you use that nowadays?

 

Edit2: Heres the segment I posted, Text didn't changed. I did not look hard enough^^

I see

If you didn't already know, tomorrow is my last day at Obsidian. The past 3.5 years have been a blast, and I've made some wonderful friends and learned so

This does feel pretty creepy.

I suppose you can see the Slenderman in the background while the voice over narrates this? Shifty fellas those at Obsidian, they're actually working on an Internet memes RPG!

More bad news, more people leaving Obsidian... what is happening :p ?

 

Best luck to him in his new job though :) .

3/4 people have left Obsidian. Turn-over is not exactly unheard of in the gaming industry. Should more and more people leave, that's when we'll have to start worrying about the health of the company.

I wonder how many employees are on a regular annual salary and how many are hired (re-hired) on a contract basis from game to game?

In any case, leaving after 7 1/2 years, which is nearly the length of the company's entire life, either speaks to one hell of a job offer, or trouble for Obsidian that extends well beyond a talented developer jumping ship.

Nah. It can be so many different things that lead to that decision most of them not having anything to do with Obsidian at all.

Hate the living, love the dead.

Hey Everyone,

 

I left Obsidian because I was offered an opportunity to move back to Texas to be near my family and to hopefully start a family of my own. There is no drama involved, unless you count the sadness of leaving a wonderful place to work after 7.5 years and missing all of my friends terribly.

 

Obsidian is and will continue to be awesome. I think the world of everyone who works there and the projects they are working on are great.

The study of history is a powerful antidote to contemporary arrogance. It is humbling to discover how many of our glib assumptions, which seem to us novel and plausible, have been tested before, not once but many times and in innumerable guises; and discovered to be, at great human cost, wholly false.

--Paul Johnson

Yeah, I thought the Texas had something to do with it :down: . Well, best of luck in your future career!

the projects they are working on are great.

I seem to have forgotten, what were those projects again please? ;)

Sorry, he already moved. :(

Let me get back to sleeping. I'm tired...

Hmm... I wonder, does Texas and California have an extradition treaty for something as trivial as breach of NDA's? :)

Damn. My PMs will probably never reach him. >_
