Larian hasn’t broken our hearts, yet. And they’ve made overtures that they will avoid doing so for at least another game or two. But eventually people will retire and then who knows.
I really think it’s going to depend on how big they get. Early BioWare very clearly had everyone committed to building games they were proud of; EA’s management equally clearly are just moving money around for things they don’t care about or believe will negatively impact them personally.
I think that pattern is widespread around the greater tech industry: antitrust enforcement, etc. would be great for having fewer cases where decisions which affect thousands of people are being made by executives who are really detached not just from consequences but simply awareness of what’s going on in each of the different segments of their business.
Hmm... Yep, also a tad bit off the bat but I just went w/ the flow state.
More so, I've only played Arcade games since I got that Sinden Pistol on my B'Day. I was also a DDR junkie once.
Historically, I did & still do a lot of sys admin stuff but not 'professionally' any more.
That was developed by Larian, not Bioware.
ah, didn't realise that!
Yes but Bioware didn't make it

I'm having a lot of difficulty reading this and I'm not sure if it's because of the style or the terminology.
I don't mean to be patronizing but did the formatting go wrong here?

Maybe I should setup my sig...

Please don't assume... Forget it!
I don't think so, it's just that bad of a comment.
Dude, are you ok?
This is a typical example of what one would call a "gamer".
