Gamebanshee got a tip yesterday evening that Obsidian had to lay off a number of people due to Project North Carolina being cancelled. The lay offs also affected the people working on the South Park rpg. Credibility to this can be seen in these comments below:

A tweet from Jason Fader, producer Project North CarolinaFellow Obsidianites who were laid off today...I was lucky, but I've been on the other end of that. Your talents will take you far!
A Google+ post from Michael Bosley, programmer:So long, Obsidian. It was a great 3.5 years. I'll miss everyone :-(
BuckGB from Gamebanshee writes this at the end of the announcement on GB:Obsidian laid off a bunch of folks today. I'm still there, but it's sad (and part of the biz) to see so many good folks let go.
So do you think Obsidian is going to make it through this?.....it was indeed Project North Carolina that was cancelled, and that the devastating news comes after "the owners weren't paid for 6-7 months" and "401k matching was halted" for employees. Hopefully Obsidian lets us throw our money at a Kickstarter project soon, or I'm going to really start to worry.
