"Greed has been fucking this whole thing up for so long, since I started, I've been fighting publishers my entire life and I keep on seeing the same, same, same mistakes over, and over and over.

It's always the quarterly profits, the only thing that matters are the numbers, and then you fire everybody and then next year you say 'shit I'm out of developers' and then you start hiring people again, and then you do acquisitions, and then you put them in the same loop again, and it's just broken.."🤝

The more I read about Larian Studios, the more I want to buy BG3, even if I never actually play it.
