You’ve all probably heard the news that Microsoft acquired Bethesda recently. What’s interesting is that Microsoft also owns Obsidian now, which means Obsidian is now a sister company to Bethesda and can work on their IPs.

In other words, how good do you think are our chances of getting a New Vegas sequel? Since they’re currently working on Avowed, a game that takes place in their Pillars of Eternity universe, we probably won’t see anything like that until 2025 at the soonest.

Nostalgia sells. They’d be dumb not to eventually get to it. Maybe not in the next 5 years, but before 2030 for sure.

I don't disagree, but the model of "nostalgia sells" is super successful and super-kiked. Take something beloved and change it in everything "but name". It will sell, it will just be disappointing--most likely with inferior gameplay and laden with "market expanding" diversity. The whole base always gets alienated and a bunch of fag normies adopt the "hipness" of a great cult classic. It ends up just being a fashion with none of the original substance.

When I hear microsoft buys a game franchise I see it as dead and rotting in the ground.

but sure: they'll probably make a lot of money and we can hear everyone bitch about how shitty it is like everything else "promising"

(ps. fallout will need to make overt virtue signals to faggots for the '76 publicity--just you wait)
