Obsidian Entertainment er efterhånden gået hen og er blevet et ret legendarisk studie, der har titler som Fallout: New Vegas, South Park: The Stick of Truth, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II og Pillars of Eternity i ryggen. For nylig afslørede de at de var i forhandlinger med Xbox tilbage omkring Xbox One-lanceringen omkring et større partnerskab, og nu fortæller udvikleren, at de faktisk ville være åbne overfor at blive opkøbt i fremtiden.
Det ville betyde at Obsidian ville enten lave eksklusive titler for enten Microsoft eller Sony, men eventuelt også tredjepartstitler under Activision, EA eller sågar Bethesda.
I et interview med Eurogamer fortæller firmaets chef, Feargus Urquhart, at de er åbne overfor den mulighed:
"We sign a contract and we must hit that number and it is the end of the earth if we [can't]. We've had to sign away royalties, we've had to sign away ownership of IPs...Whereas internal studios, it's just another month - they're already paying the people, it's already in the budget these people are going to be paid.
It's not like we're 'indie for life', not like we bleed indie blood. We were an internal studio [as Black Isle] for a publisher for a long time and we were successful.
We just didn't think the offers were commensurate to what we're worth and then what we would get to do.
If the right opportunity came up, it's certainly something that we would do."
