inXile Entertainment’s acquisition by Microsoft dawned on everyone as a surprise. Whereas there had been plenty of rumors (turned out to be correct) suggesting that Obsidian would be acquired, this came out of left field instead.
In particular, inXile still has Wasteland 3 scheduled to be released next year on non-Microsoft platforms like Mac/Linux and PlayStation 4. Backers have asked what this acquisition means and the developer has now confirmed they’ll keep their existing backer commitments.
