  The devs are mostly not the problem with the state of AAA games today, it’s the people telling them what to do in order to maximise profits.

  Same as with most problems we face as a species, really.

    But I was told every individual ruthlessly and insatiably acting solely for personal profit — regardless of ethics, morality, or empathy — was the greatest, most efficient, bestest, freedomest thing to have ever existed?

    Why would corporate sociopaths lie? What could they po$$ibly have to gain?

      Capitalism is the worst form of economics.

      Except for all of the other ones that have been tried.

  Those developers trying to shit on Larian need to cry and seethe more.

  I can't find developers doing things. Seems like a mostly made up concern by overly sensitive people looking to be angry about something.

    The picture in the OP is PR for a publishing company. There are many other accounts of people who work in the industry who are angry/jealous of Larian. You’re probably just not looking in the right places.

    I can’t find developers doing this.

    This entire story was started by game developers on social media (Twitter) complaining about consumer expectations in the wake of Baldur’s Gate 3.

  This is the bad take management wants you to have.

    Who in management exactly? As far as I know Larian is not responsible for the tweets aside from just making a good game.

      I’m not talking about Larian, I’m talking about the studios who want to keep cranking out suppisedly AAA games that are little more than creatively bankrupt, dressed up vending machines.

        Yeah, in that case I totally agree. It’s just ineptitude shouting at excellence.

  Try actually reading what the developers are saying. Most are saying that they can’t make good games because the suits won’t let them. They keep fucking over and chasing off the most experienced and visionary people, force teams to chase trends instead of concentrating on one type of game and never give them enough time.

    From all that I’ve seen it’s more like they are trying to dismiss the success that Larian has found by saying that they are a special case which is nothing but smoke and mirrors. Larian did hard work and are being rewarded for it.
