These terms are messy, but there is a reasonable argument that an A developer is AAA developer with a lower budget. Provide them the budget and they become AAA. (Originally, I'm pretty sure AAA referred only to budget and not quality at all) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games Pass needs that to keep subscriptions recurring. Microsoft's also burned some bridges this gen with contracted projects. Coming to the bargaining table with a buyout offer shows a greater commitment, even if it isn't a guarantee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we're in that world, but I have my doubts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading the Obsidian chapter in Jason Schreier’s book, I got the impression that the issues in the company is more than just a management issue. I personally don’t think Obsidian has made a great game in long time. 2022 - This will be repurposed for Microsoft Side note: Blood, Sweat and Pixels was a great book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dre801 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 They could turn Alpha Protocol into a premiere franchise. That game just needed to stay in the oven a bit longer. Regardless, I still finished and enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed... it could have been Obsidians Mass Effect if not for the bugs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbox enhance it, make it BC and hand it out for free, then make a sequel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
