Earlier this month, Microsoft announced "the most significant restructure in Xbox history", which is what you call it when you lay off thousands of people and cut four game studios loose. Double Fine and Compulsion Games returned to their indie roots; Ninja Theory and Undead Labs were sold off. While it seemed at first like Obsidian Entertainment had avoided the headsman's axe, we soon found out they were also hit with plenty of layoffs of their own.
We also found out someone apparently pushed the button marked "in case of emergency get Obsidian to make a new Fallout game," with Fallout: New Vegas director Josh Sawyer reportedly heading the project.
