Let's look at the Lorne Lanning interview on Gamespy, shall we? And I quote:
"Lanning will keep a relatively small team of core creators in Berkeley, while collaborating with and outsourcing to external talents. His partners will not be restricted to the gaming industry; he'll be looking to team up with people from traditional animation, television, and film. This doesn't mean that he will not be working with traditional game companies; he was quick to point out his positive experiences with Majesco."
So, Oddworld games still on the horizon, but will be created through a collaboration of Lorne's idea-men and programmers from other places, outside the Oddworld Inhabitants studio. So, in other words, instead of Oddworld making the games 100% alone, they'll be using group effort to get the games done more efficiently and with less budget restriction, etc.
Can we calm down now?
