Obsidian's Chris Avellone indicated that Obsidian just missed a bonus for
Fallout: New Vegas, reports
Joystiq, saying this came in a tweet from a
no longer existent account, allegedly saying: "[Fallout: New Vegas] was a straight payment, no royalties, only a bonus if we got an 85+ on Metacritic, which we didn't." Sure enough, the game currently sits at 84 on
Metacritic. They also note
their report of layoffs at Obsidian, though these are still unconfirmed. Thanks nin.

| It was a crash-fest for months after release. It's much better now, but before all the DLC and updates, it was rather painful to play. And this is nothing new with Obsidian (NWN anyone?). |
