Hear hear, read your post this afternoon, replying now. Let's bump it, because hey, I am business manager myself, and I can only say, if you work your a** off to make something good, it feels good to hear from time to time you are doing a good job, or that you are on the right track.
Because face it, perfection doesn't exist, but in their spectrum Larian and especially the people working there are doing great stuff. Not a lot of companies do that, having that heart and soul. Don't say, because it isn't. And here it is, because you have the owner pulling the reins, not some big investors placing his pawns here and there.
And don't say, well, they get big sales, and get nice profit now? Would they have to work for free then? They reap the profits of what they sow. Right on, brothers and sisters!
