This is a hilarious controversy to me because it is so obviously a labor dispute but nobody is covering it that way.

If you work as a creative and your product doesn't sell because you were forced to cut corners by your boss you should be mad at your boss not your audience.

    I think it's fine for Obsidian devs to be a bit upset that they'll probably never have these resources at hand, being a generally smaller studio and not usually shipping very many copies. But insomniac and blizzard is funny. Going "I'm just a smol bean" when they're behemoths.

      I dunno what Obsidian said specifically but I have a pretty poor opinion of any dev trying to redirect this to the audience. If it was just "I wish we had a bigger budget" then I have no prob with that.
