Some of the key players associated with the studio's early days have publicly said they aren't involved with the new operation. Former Black Isle developer and current Obsidian Entertainment designer Chris Avellone posted on Twitter, "I know nothing about the Black Isle Studio news announcement, doesn't involve me or Obsidian… or well, anyone that I know. ;)"


This has inspired me to form Westwood-Troika-Acclaim-Bullfrog-Looking Glass Studios. It will be staffed with monkeys and unpaid interns.

Contributors aren't even funding a full game (just a "prototype"), and access to the finished product is never promised at all. Instead, contributors get access to a "special forum," though only donations over $20 earn you posting privileges—otherwise, bafflingly, it's "look, don't touch." The top 20 funders, god help them, get gold forum badges and a "Certificate of Valor" (clearly much better than the Certificates of "Merit" and "Recognition" offered to $10 and $20 contributors, respectively). Oh, and they'll be taking your money immediately, eschewing the expected 30-day funding period required by sites like Kickstarter.
