Nobody from "Larian" is gonna step out and answer feedback, they are spending there time on better things than walking out into a mob. I don't blame them one bit on that.

people respond better when they are treated with respect. "Larian" just may give up one day for all the negative feedback.
“Larian” is a useful rhetorical device to remind us not harbor personal animosity towards any specific employee. I don’t think it’s useful to call out the lead systems designer by name, for example, when the same feedback can be given more neutrally to “Larian” as a whole. The exception here is Swen Vincke, as CEO and armor-clad face of the company, though it’s important to remember BG3 isn’t solely his game.
It also reminds us that Larian is a company, and that companies don’t have feelings or an innate sense of ethics. So when they sell a full-price game that doesn’t exist to mac users, it’s important to do more than praise the good parts. “Larian” giving up for all the negative feedback would amount to abandonning a succesful business model to cater to the non-existant emotions of an administrative entity. Capitalism won’t let that happen.
