Related to this topic, I watched the first bit of his interview with Last Stand Media recently:
I found it interesting that he says he basically threatened to leave the company if they didn't make this game. It's been a dream of his throughout his career to make a historical RPG and he felt like the Microsoft acquisition was the perfect chance for him to lay it on the line and try to get it made since 1) He was not currently working on any projects 2) Smaller niche titles like this would be more likely to be greenlit for Game Pass and 3) He felt Microsoft would feel obligated to greenlight a passion project right after the acquisition as a sign of goodwill + optics.
He was much more forthright than I would've expected.
I am not very far into Pentiment but it is very cool so far, glad stuff like this gets to exist
