Even The Outer World was in development 6 years ago. Before covid and during Microsofts acquisition.

Game studios have high churn, the writers, designers, artists, etc are so far removed from their previous works that its a brand name like every other studio.

The New Vegas director did work on Pentiment but thats a perfect example of how a single person doesn’t mean a lot. Not to say he doesn’t do good work, but that its a collaborative job with many influences.
