MODERATORS
Their best writers have had little to nothing to do with the studio for the better part of a decade, that's all. Also getting bought out by Microsoft in the middle of their development cycle probably affected them quite poorly.
How so? I mean, vis a vis Microsoft, to be clear.
The studio was made to work on several projects at once under the new publisher, including outer worlds, Avowed, pentiment etc, all simultaneously, which is why Josh Sawyer, who is probably the best designer/writer they have at the company, didn't work on Avowed, and instead chose to work on Pentiment. Microsoft turning them into a content mill for their shitty consoles and gamepass is part of the problem.
On another note, Pentiment sounds like a good game. I've heard people swear by it. Guess I'll try it out.
