Chris Avellone invites Elon Musk to buy Fallout: “I’d work on it for free”

Elon Musk is the famous entrepreneur who has given birth to some of the most influential technology companies of recent years, among which SpaceX and Tesla undoubtedly stand out. Currently regarded as the richest man in the world after Jeff Bezos, Musk has over time become quite a popular character, and considered by many to be a true genius.

It seems that among the group of fans on which Elon Musk can count there is also Chris Avellone, a very familiar face to lovers of video games and especially of role-playing titles. The writer contributed to the success of Planescape Torment, Fallout New Vegas, Divinity Original Sin 2, and most recently worked on Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines 2 and Dying Light 2 (broke off relations with developers following allegations of harassment).

Avellone curiously published a post on his Twitter account in which he asks Elon Musk to buy the Fallout franchise. If this ever happens, the author says he is willing to work on it free of charge:

“Since someone suggested it, why the f *** say no: Dear Elon Musk, please buy the Fallout franchise and I’ll work on it for free even if it means walking on the surface of Mars and taking off my helmet.”

Avellone seems to have great respect for Elon Musk, and not because he considers the entrepreneur a genius, as suggested by a user on Twitter: “No, he played Fallout New Vegas, which is more than most people do. rich, except for Matthew Perry. Even failure to finance the US space program could have let my dream of space travel die if SpaceX hadn’t come, so maybe that wish will come true too. “

Many have then advised Avellone to reunite with Obsidian Entertainment and work on the follow-up to Fallout New Vegas, but the writer does not seem to be particularly attracted by the offer, since the studio is fully involved in the development of Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2. .

No, he played Fallout New Vegas, which is more than most rich people do except Matthew Perry.

Also the failure to fund the United States space program seemed it would let my dreams of space travel in our time die until SpaceX came along, so maybe this dream can happen too.

Nah, they’re just doing Avowed and Outer Worlds as their big projects
