Fallout: New Vegas, The Outer Worlds 2, and Avowed developer Obsidian Entertainment is facing a class action lawsuit amid allegations that the studio has "engaged in a systematic pattern of wage and hour violations under the California Labor Code and Industrial Welfare Commission ('IWC') Wage Orders."
As highlighted by Reddit user macken-zee on the PCGaming subreddit, this case isn't actually a totally new one – it appears to have flown under the radar for the last few months. In fact, it first kicked off in October last year, but an amended class action complaint filed on January 12, 2026, by a plaintiff (who is listed in The Outer Worlds 2's credits as a QA lead), outlines the allegations in full.
