Incline Chris Avellone Appreciation Station

[Zed Duke of Banville]

Is he really a multimillionaire? I don't think videogame writer/designer is such a well-paid profession, specially in his heyday(90s and 2000s).

He was a co-founder in Obsidian aswell and probably had a share of the profits.

The co-owners of Obsidian cashed out when the company was purchased by Microsoft, which occurred well after Chris Avellone had been unceremoniously "de-ownered" upon exiting the company, since he refused to sign a draconian NDA / non-compete agreement insisted upon by Feargus Urquhart. It's not impossible that some money would have been distributed while Avellone was still with Obsidian, but the co-owners compensated themselves with highly-paid positions within the company, and other funds would have been in short supply since Obsidian always struggled to keep afloat.

Chris Avellone does seem to have amassed considerable wealth, however, from his years as an employee of Interplay and Obsidian, considerably supplemented by his freelance writing as a coveted human stretch goal for a variety of computer games.

Does he still get royalties for past works?

 

[Dadd]

so is MCA going to get into fiction writing? I remember him saying "it's too haaaard, nah", but his videogame comeback is basically dead in the water and he has all the free-time in the world as a multi millionaire. it's not like he's some geezer yet.

The sex offender reputation extends beyond the videogame circles, what makes you think he'd be able to publish his fiction?

Even normies have doubts about the allegations. He might not be cancelled permanently.

 

[KörangarTheMighty]

Get Warhorse Studios to hire him. Also, it's not that hard to get published if he wanted to actually write books (and was good at it). There's still companies that cater to authors far more controversial than Chris.

 

[NecroLord]

Just come back, Chris.
We need you, bro.



Sue that bitch into Oblivion. Let there be justice. You can't just accuse someone without serious evidence. What is this? Sweden? Over there, you are gonna get rape charges for just looking at a bitch funny...

How old is his wife? Why no kids?

Did the soy make him infertile or something.

She's 30 and doesn't seem like the "having kids" type. I imagine Chris is one of those "my stories are my kids" types.

They're not usually in the same state and if she suddenly had kids, she'd be less likely to be able to take him for whatever he has left. So, y'know. The usual marital bliss.

 

[NecroLord]

I am legitimately surprised he doesn't have kids.
How could a stud like him not find a woman to carry his progeny?

You can fix him necro.

A kid would have prevented him from sexting random women in conventions. After all, what can change the nature of a man?

Regret.

[Ismaul]

he touched me deeply when I was just 13

 

[NecroLord]

You can fix him necro.

Damn right!

 

[ERYFKRAD]

You can fix him necro.

Damn right!

Not by necromancy, I should think

 

[good fucking shit happen]

Was it Dead Money or Lonesome Road?

 

[NecroLord]

You can fix him necro.

Damn right!

No, nothing as crude as that...

 

[Daedalos]

MCA might have suffered abit from overgrown manchild syndrome.

Getting mixed up with young influencers and awful streamer types and all that drama that got him in trouble in the first place.

He's been grinding and nerding over games for so long that he forgot to grow up. Can't blame him. Adult life fucking sucks.

Yeah bonking them on the head is much better, I agree.

Agree a hundred percent, though I hoped you wouldn't be so right.
Really unfortunate.

Have you heard his voice? Or seen his computer den…

 

[mediocrepoet]

Or seen his computer den…

Citation needed. I need to see how the rich geeks are able to live.

Roguey for the ritualistic sadness
