At this week's D.I.C.E. summit, Obsidian vice president of operations Marcus Morgan and development Justin Britch said they hope Obsidian will exist until its 100th anniversary.Given the current turbulent state of the gaming industry, this seems very unlikely.However, Obsidian does have a history of making very popular games like Fallout: New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity, Outer Worlds and more recently, Oath.

Obsidian is currently 22 years old, which means the company has 78 years left.The two vice presidents believe that as long as they insist on streamlining, retaining talent and setting realistic sales expectations, this can be done completely.Compared to other companies, Obsidian focuses more on making games that satisfy players and make impact, rather than just focusing on how much money it can make.

One of the main pillars of the "sustainability" program is to maintain "simplification and investment" and keep the company small enough so that all employees in the company will not feel like a gear in the machine and still feel that they are in the company.There is role and influence in it.However, this is not always the case, as Morgan and Britch said, they had considered opening studios internationally, but in order not to weaken the existing work culture, they decided not to continue.

Britch said the studio did not put all its money into a project, hoping it would make a big profit, but instead took the time to decide how much money it invested in the project based on the assumption of “moderate success.”Foreign media WCCF believes that this is worth learning from companies such as PlayStation and Ubisoft, because they have recently invested money in two large projects (Star Wars and Star Wars: Outlaws), but both end upNot as expected.

So far, the company's efforts have been basically successful from three games launched by Obsidian in the 2020s."Grounded", "Pentiment" and "Swearing" have all been well received by the media and players.If the company continues to follow this straight and narrow path, it may live to 100 years old.
