Obsidian Entertainment - Avellone is Out

What? Robert Purchese at Eurogamer breaks the news:

Chris Avellone confirmed his departure from Obsidian in an email.

"It is true, Bertie," he wrote, "and many well wishes to the folks at Obsidian. On the future, I'm off to pursue new projects, but I can't say anything more at this time beyond life is short, and the ideas keep growing."

Avellone had earlier posted a half-joking announcement to his Twitter.
