Aliens RPG Interview

Joystiq managed to corner Obsidian Entertainment CEO Feargus Urquhart during GDC Austin for a short Q&A about the circumstances surrounding the cancellation of their Aliens RPG.

This panel was about developing licensed games in tough economic times. Is that what happened to the Aliens RPG? That was announced awhile ago. What happened?

Of course, whenever a relationship like that ends, there is the letter that we get that has the legal reasons for why this is happening, then there are the reasons that we all have an idea about, but they can’t really talk to us about those because it has to be talked about from a legal perspective.

It’s a tough thing for us, because it means we’re all still under a non-disclosure agreement, at least for awhile. We have our ideas, but they’re purely opinions and they could be absolutely wrong. The NDA was two years past termination, so talk to us in February 2011.
