Josh Sawyer Was “Awful Asshole” During Pillars of Eternity 2 Creation

Pillars of Eternity 2 is a good game, but it didn’t sell as well as Obsidian Entertainment hoped. It’s twice as sad considering the reportedly unhealthy atmosphere in the studio during its development. 

Not so long ago, Josh Sawyer, the director of Pillars of Eternity, Fallout: New Vegas, Pentiment, and other well-known games, tweeted that burnout had replaced crunch as the primary hazard of the game industry, and he knew what he was talking about.
