PoE made clear MCA was a bit "too much" for Obsidian right now.
He is still the best video game writer out there.

MCA is also a co-owner of Obsidian. Will he give up/sell his shares or continue to hold some stake?

Wow :cry:

In a certain way, Obsidian feel not that exciting after the lukewarm POE, the shitty tank game or the coming board thing. And he was pretty much the only good thing coming out of it... Doesn't bode well for my future interest in them...

Thinking back on the documentry, it really feel like a major part of what went wrong during POE devlopment have been hidden from us. Seems like Chris really couldn't accept that most of his (awesome!) work got thrashed for it, when the "lead writter" wasn't even working on it full time...

Now if he can become an inexile refugees... That could be fucking great +M
