Hello MeDeflok. I hope these answers are good for you;

Oddworld Inhabitants are currently concentrating on showcasing their intellectual property on the big screen, and are not known to be working on any videogame project. They have not abandoned the game medium, but it is likely (though not certain) any games they work on in the future will be financed by publishers looking to release tie-in games to feature films.

2. I guess us Oddworld fans were not very pleased and actually very disappionted. Some members just left Oddworld Forums.

When development of Stranger’s Wrath began, Oddworld Inhabitants were still obligated under contract to produce the next three Oddworld titles exclusively to the Microsoft Xbox. However, at this time Ed Fries left Microsoft Games and the company adopted a policy which involved abandoning all games that showed any signs of innovation, including Psychonauts and Stranger.
OWI found a publisher in EA Games, who were eager for the game to also be released on the PlayStation 2, but they miscalculated how long it would take an external developer to port the game to PS2. Either the releases would have to be staggered, or the completed Stranger’s Wrath would have to remain unreleased until the PS2 port was completed. EA wasn’t willing to do either of these, so the PlayStation port was simply dropped.

4. I do not remember Lorne ever being unhappy with EA in specifically; however he did not agree with how the gaming publishing system ran.
4. (part 2) Huh? CS will take place on a fictional form of Earth's near-future. And Oddworld is a completely different planet than Earth.
5. There are two games in the make for CS. One is Wage Wars and the other is something else.
6. Yes, I do believe so. But they aren't actual scenes from the game.
7. TOGG is always helpful.
