June 9, 201510 yr Oh damn! Edit: I wonder how that works with Mr Avellone being one of the co-owners? Anyway thank you to the gentleman for the years of great gameplay experiences, and stories that really touched me. I guess the hard part really is in the letting go.

Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!
June 9, 201510 yr Bet is with InXile? Van Buren? Going indie? Making beer videos? "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
June 9, 201510 yr Off to Bethesda ? Hah, I'd love to see Bethesda finally get a decent writer again, but what are the chances of that? It's a blow to Obsidian for sure, but I'm dying to know what he's planning to do now. It looked very much like "I'm not allowed to say yet."
June 9, 201510 yr Author I don't think he is leaving the industry. Maybe he got offered a lot of money somewhere else. Bethesda? He would be needed there, for sure. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
June 9, 201510 yr http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-06-09-chris-avellone-leaves-obsidian-entertainment I did not see that coming. It's on his Twitter. RPG Codex caught it first ^^
June 9, 201510 yr I didn't see that coming Wherever MCA is headed, I hope it's well paying and he gets to continue making great games. Best of luck, MCA. 🇺🇸RFK Jr 2024🇺🇸 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
June 9, 201510 yr Is this for real? Edit: It is according to the tweet, eh. Well frack, everything is going to hell. All right, could someone do an "in memoriam"? What has Chris done on Pillars, FNV, AP, F2, etc? That'd be nice. Edited June 9, 201510 yr by Aoyagi
June 9, 201510 yr Author http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-06-09-chris-avellone-leaves-obsidian-entertainment I did not see that coming. It's on his Twitter. RPG Codex caught it first ^^ Oh yeah? Well, did RPG Codex get THIS: By Robert Purchese Published 09/06/2015 UPDATE: Chris Avellone confirmed his departure from Obsidian in an email to me. "It is true, Bertie," he wrote, "and many well wishes to the folks at Obsidian. On the future, I'm off to pursue new projects, but I can't say anything more at this time beyond life is short, and the ideas keep growing." DIDN'T THINK SO!015 Edited June 9, 201510 yr by mkreku Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
June 9, 201510 yr mkreku with the scoop! Well, a surprise but he should find work easily and soon. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
June 9, 201510 yr MCA can now truly follow his bliss. His dream job as a full time walking Kickstarter Stretch Goal. "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
June 9, 201510 yr Good luck to him. Sounds like he's wanting to do some new stuff. I wonder if he'll go try going indie for a while. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
June 9, 201510 yr Off to Bethesda ? Lord knows they desperately need someone who can actually write a character. 🇺🇸RFK Jr 2024🇺🇸 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
June 9, 201510 yr Not really surprising, considoring the rumors about his disagreements with Josh and all that. In any case, all the best wherever his path takes him. Hopefully we'll see more awesome writing from him. His companions were my favorite in PoE. Edited June 9, 201510 yr by Sakai
June 9, 201510 yr Not really surprising, considoring the rumors about his disagreements with Josh and all that. What were the disagreements over?
June 9, 201510 yr What were the disagreements over? PoE. Chris wanted to take a different diraction with the game. Though these are only rumors, so they might be completely wrong.
June 9, 201510 yr We may be missing the bigger picture here. With MCA gone, who's going to fill the role as Obsidian's sexy beast? 🇺🇸RFK Jr 2024🇺🇸 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks

June 9, 201510 yr fyi, confirming AFTER some guy has announced on his twitter account is hardly a scoop. just sayin. good luck to chrisA. so long, and thanks for all the fish. HA! Good Fun!
