Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact

Larian has close to 500 employees across studios in seven different countries. They’re definitely the good guys (at least for now), but they are not an example of a small indie studio.

BG3 being DRM-free and playable indefinitely also demonstrates that you can have plenty of success and not break your own product to do so.

  Totally agree but the person they’re responding to implied they were some scrappy indie production. Ex33 (there are caveats/asterisks here but still) is a much better example. I think at its peak the whole team was like 40 people with hired hands.

    They did not, they said you can be successful without corpo overhead and bullshittery.

    Not to mention that studios like Larian have proven that it's entirely possible to make a blockbuster game without teams of 400 heads, changing direction and leadership every few years and laying off the people who made the product in the first place. They really seethed at that one, so many salty comments lol.
