Whenever I see people hoping for a Fallout New Vegas 2, it’s depressing to realize that the Obsidian that made that game is effectively dead. The writing talent is long gone and have been replaced by women and trannies who are barely functional psychopaths. I know the diversity and inclusion rhetoric plays a huge hand in how people are selected, but why do these studios have a knack for hiring the most degenerate, low effort people imaginable to work on a part of the game that basically molds the structure and tone of the entire game? It’s just so bizarre how all of these writers that are being hired are all basically identical in terms of them being leftist, social media obsessed, and barely functional people who are most likely a nightmare to work with.

Chris Avellone is the perfect example of what happened. Massive resume with a ton of good titles on it, but a bit of an awkward guy IRL so he gets a bunch of #MeToo allegations thrown at him and is basically blacklisted. (Edit - and a lot of people who had worked with him for years just blindly believed the #metoos) Hopefully the libel lawsuit comes out as a win for him, but it was filed in CA so I'm doubtful.
I'd like to hear more about what happened to the Upset Jose.
100% agree Even if he crawls back, he was such an idiot. He was part of the problem to begin with, he was the "good ally", he believed all the stupid leftist shit and said all the correct leftist buzz words and in the end he got eaten by the left because he is an idiot white straight male. And the truth is that if one of his "friends" was in the same situation as him he would have turned against that friend in a heartbeat. He is a great writer but he does deserve what happened to him.
As well as Alec Holowka, who committed suicide after being accused.
If he had a spine, the blacklist would make him a prime candidate to crowdfund his career. Embrace the cancel culture as it will make you money. Take a knee and it takes your head.
I contributed to Eron Gjoni's legal fund but Avellone would never see a penny from me. He's a paid-up, cucked out 'male ally' of feminism who gave momentum to the allegations at the time - allegations which, remember, amounted to 'he kisses women consensually when drunk, stops on request, and occasionally sexts women who've been in actual porn shoots' - with his pathetic, maudlin self-flagellation. Even his supposed fight-back is couched in all the same feminist cultist language, 'believe women - just not this time' style bullshit, which allows this culture to propagate.
Finding your spine only after you've allowed them to cut away every other shred of flesh and bone, that's too late. I don't support it. I'd love to find a way to help guys like him and Holowka whose first impulse is to destroy themselves rather than their enemies, but as a distant stranger I can't think of a way that doesn't ultimately encourage cowardice.
