I may have overstated a bit with “Larian are interested in active communication.” Here’s the closest quote I could find supporting that assertion:

[A formal Q&A] is in the Ideas basket, give us time to develop our plans and we will get there at some point.
An ideas basket suggests some sort of intent, even if it’s two years into EA. Also, Larian were just at PAXWest and have apparently started a tiktok channel. While they can’t be accused of being overly transparent with the EA community, they’re not exactly hiding either.
