Given that it was made by a different company, doing anything with it may actually be legally complicated.

Yet Bethesda are/were the publishers when it released and Beth owned the fallout IP then and continues to own the IP.

Isn't Obsidian also owned by Microsoft? Pretty sure it's just a matter of Satya Nadella giving the greenlight

[–] JakJak98@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes. Which is why there's so much speculation about the fallout rights being given back to Obsidian for more.

I wouldn't mind west coast to be taken by obsidian and east coast by beth tbh.
