From Eurogamer: “On Saturday 10th November, Microsoft announced buying Californian role-playing game developers inXile Entertainment and Obsidian Entertainment. Two studios independent which had fought for survival for a decade-and-a-half were now under the Xbox umbrella. The message from Microsoft was reassurance: don’t worry, nothing will change, we won’t kill them – they’ll continue to make the games you love, only they’ll have more resources and support available to “fully realise” their ambitions. Nevertheless, questions remained.”
