Producer/designer Akil Hooper tweeted that his luck had finally run out after ”11 years, nearly a dozen shipped titles, Designer, Lead, Producer. 1 canceled game, survived 7 layoffs, 8th got me. Not a bad track record.”
Programmer Justin Reynard tweeted a salute to his laid off collegues: “Today marks my 3 year anniversary working at Obsidian Entertainment. To my coworkers (and sadly the ones we’ve lost) you guys are amazing.”
QA tester Ashley Betters tweeted: “No longer work at Obsidian. I guess this means I will have to start buying my own pens.”
An Obsidian forum post on Obsidian reports that producer Tess Treadwell and designer Sydney Wolfram as well as three interns may have been laid off as well.
