Microsoft Reportedly Close to Buying Obsidian Entertainment

As reported by Kotaku, citing three sources close to the matter, Microsoft is making a big move on securing some much-needed exclusivity. The company is reportedly about to seal up a deal to buy fan-favorite RPG studio Obsidian Entertainment.

When reached for comment, Microsoft gave a standard “We do not comment on rumors or speculation,” but leave it up to Obsidian to give a cheeky response to the rumor.

Unfortunately, we don’t comment on rumors or speculation other than to say that the Rumors album by Fleetwood Mac still holds up.

Nothing but love, Obsidian.

The studio has long had a reputation of being master storytellers, made up of former Black Isle Studios developers including Feargus Urquhart and Chris Avellone. As seen in some of their most beloved games Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II, South Park: The Stick of Truth, and Fallout: New Vegas, their stories are backed up by game-breaking bugs that both ruin your experience… or enhance them.
