Seems inXile is done with production for niche audience. I expect this will be another action game with RPG elements for mainstream audience. Pity, inXile games had pretty high production values for niche games. But no surprise, at least not for me, this was inevitable outcome of MS acquisition.
I'm not too thrilled because history shows that studios that attempt to make a game as good as good as Fallout end up making one as mediocre as The Outer Worlds.
Seems to be the case when a big company purchases a studio. "We finance your games, you make them mainstream so we get our money back". Which is fair enough, just not what the fans of your old niches would prefer.
So you are saying that they should aim lower and not try to make better games?
I would hope that InXile would keep producing the fine kind of content that they are known for, and I'm probably very wrong. Time will tell, and this first collaboration under a new umbrella will be rather important.
