I still think they should make it so that if you make a false accusation against someone you should go to jail for the amount of time that person would've gotten if you were telling the truth
I agree, there needs to be consequences for the actions. Least of all wasting the valuable time of the court for something that may have actually mattered. Major fines need to be utilized to pay for the falsly accused, and the time it took for the court.

tbf in his case his public meltdown on codex revealing juicy gossip from obsidian did far more damage to him. These developer outfits are notoriously insecure and thin skinned. They dont want to risk their moronation getting pushed in the open.
The accusations from the prostitute gave just the convenient excuse to shut him out while also getting some free virtue signaling browny points
the main reason seems to be Feargus wanted to push him out of the microsoft buyout money pie as avellone was one of the founding owners with a considerable part of the shares. Now how exactly he achieved that remains hazy as avellones explanations are vague and there is no comment from Feargus. All its known chris was obviously completely burned out when he finally exploded and stormed out of obsidian. Also seems he was unaware of the microsoft negotiations. So speculating maybe psychological wear and tear as all his work go consistently thrown out on all the latest projects before he left?
>wont hire him
Frick hiring him, this man is useless when he isn't leading a project. What did he do for 7 years after leaving Obsidian? Every company out there hired him but just do get him in their credits, he didn't contribute shit besides making some Skype calls and 'giving advice on narrative design'.
What a joke. This guy is in his LA mansion getting fat while Disco Elysium and Baldur's Gate 3 are actually pushing the genre forward.
I think Chris Avellone is more distraught that the idea of "a group of the pre-war elite that were in cryostasis waking up to burn the world a 2nd time so they can rule the ashes" that was the main crux of the plot for Van Buren ended up being used with Vault-Tec and Bud's Buds in the show.
I can't image how it must feel to see your idea you had for over 20 years that you were actually going to use if you weren't constantly fricked over by your place of work just end up getting used by another team who now gets to take the credit for it.
They fricking butchered the game after he left, they got SBI'ed hard man, they cut an entire city ,Ave has implied that they removed essentially a new Vegas's worth of faction quests while they claim he only wrote a few side quests(he was the lead writer FFS).
Techland is fricking dead mate
>Ave has implied that they removed essentially a new Vegas's worth of faction quests
The game is bloated with boring garbage in its current state, can't imagine the quality of the material they had to cut.
he should work with larian and they can do a 3d planetscape torment. reintroduce the concept at a high level to a new audience. then pump out some insane dlc.
I wish. He also seemed like one of the few guys speaking out about what was going on behind the curtain in the industry, like the 85% metacritic from Bethesda. Meanwhile Obisidan and Josh seem more acutely aware that bringing attention to the dirt on the floor is a quick way to lose connections and they just want to make videogames above all else.
Id be very sad to see if it turned out he quit, his writing is largely what inspired me to try making stories myself, his always stands out in whatever game has several writers. It was also heartbreaking to earlier hear how much he loved leading the work on Alpha Protocol and when the game reappeared on GoG there was no mention of him.
He might've been too good for this industry and even if he's written his last game Im glad I got to experience what he's done.
Even after he won in court they still wont hire him. He should do more indies like FTL again. Too bad Owlcuckold didnt bring him back

Isn't he also blacklisted in the industry now?

Why did Obsidian de-owner him anyway? I never got that part

>Even after he won in court
you are aware that criminals win court cases all the time right? Need I remind you of OJ?
>coal burner and israelite
OJ did nothing wrong. And Chris won in civil court I think, he never had criminal charges.
guilty until proven innocent but then also still guilty
He got demolished in a civil court though. Much lower burden of proof required and no chimps for jurors.
OJ was a humiliation ritual as well as the LA riots ,which should have been the moment you slapped the chimps.
>Blessed be the Rooftop Korean
Now we just need Jeremy Soule to come back and we can all pretend its the 00's again
Where the frick is he anyway? He just seemingly dropped off the face of the earth.
got a big payday from court from the b***h lying about him so now semi retired
Oh, well I guess that's for the best, glad he didn't get fricked over.
From what? He loves what Bethesda did to the NCR in the tv show. It’s what he always wanted.

Is he even working on anything atm?
I read he only wrote few quests to FNV and rest was made by some beaner
Did Dying Light 2 flop because he worked on it or because they fired him?
It flopped because they created a lame post apoc drama game instead of a zombie one.

bryan brown won't save you
he should work with larian and they can do a 3d planetscape torment. reintroduce the concept at a high level to a new audience. then pump out some insane dlc.
then have them make arcanum 3D.
you really think wizards of the coast would let him anywhere near planescape now
I hope they hire him for Fallout Season 2 to help finish off the rest of the NCR
He's nothing without Sawyer anyway. All-Alone ain't saving shit.
Wasnt he always very openly gay?
last I heard of him he raped some women right?
he talks like a gay but RPGCodex was very surprised to discover that Chris was straight
