Wccftech journalists took Obsidian Entertainment senior designer Brian Heins. He told how the acquisition of the team by Microsoft Corporation affected the creativity of developers. The representative of the studio said that the authors have enough freedom to implement their own ideas.
Brian Haynes said: βThe Outer Worlds was not affected by this [acquisition of Obsidian] as the publisher is Private Division. Otherwise, nothing has changed. It's especially exciting that once the studio is part of Microsoft, we can focus on the essence of the next games, rather than how they will appear."
The senior designer also said that the developers are coordinating ideas with management in order to get a "green light". However, as part of Microsoft, it is easier for authors to focus on the quality of projects. Even before the acquisition, Xbox Game Studios said, "We're making a purchase so you can keep making games and we're not going to change anything." The authors were assured that they would continue to create projects that Obsidian fans love.
