My mistake yeah, thought Larian was US, was thinking of Obsidian
NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Obsidian is a great example that there are good US devs. I can’t think of a bad game they’ve made

Or CD Project Red from Poland (The Witcher series, Cyberpunk, GOG.com). Or Larian Studios from Belgium (Divinity Series, Baldurs Gate 3). Or Platinum Games from Japan (Bayonetta Series, NieR:Automata, Vanquish, Astral Chain).
You’re correct, it’s the unhinged US turbocapitalistic corporatocracy that just produces more and more trash. Won’t change either, best is to just treat names like “Ubisoft”, “EA” or “Microsoft” printed on games like huge red flags and avoid them, no matter how good the manipulative marketing is. Saves money and nerves.
