As rumors swirl around Xbox’s future, the latest news (or leak) is that Microsoft has tapped developer Obsidian Entertainment to carry on the Fallout series. While this is exciting for many reasons, not the least of which is Obsidian’s potential return to its Fallout: New Vegas setting, it’s devastating news for fans of Obsidian’s other IPs; specifically, Avowed and Pillars of Eternity. Anyone out there who was looking forward to Avowed 2 or another PoE spin-off may have to put those dreams on hold for now.

In late May, Neil Rimer said something during a sit-down I had with him in Athens that I haven’t been able to shake. At a vibrant new tech festival in the city, talking about the wealth piling up around AI, he said he has “a strong sense that there will be some sort of a redistribution.” He continued on. “It’ll either be voluntary or it’ll be involuntary, but it’ll happen, and I hope it’s voluntary,” he told me, adding that he thinks tech leaders “can play a leading role in seeing that through.” Coming from most people, that would sound…
