They supposedly just canceled Avowed 2, which would have been about a year in development, to get the ball rolling on this.

Microsoft has a history of corporate meddling (if 343’s devs experiences are accurate) but you are right, they can’t really afford to mess this one up, so I’d hope they let the talent do their thing and make a great game.

Microsoft’s leadership, specifically.

I feel obligated to point out that this won’t be the same Obsidian who made New Vegas. Same company, but (mostly) not the same devs or the same leadership.

Though I’m a little hopeful that Josh Sawyer manages to make something neat.

The article brings it up too, but I suspect this actually means streaming games. I can see it sort of making sense where you already own a digital library and via some subscription, can stream those games to specific devices.
