First and foremost, huge thanks to the entire team. We know all too well how game studios, once they reach the top, tend to lose their edge and turn into factories churning out sterile, safe, meticulously calculated products.
Which is exactly why it’s so valuable to see that you haven’t just held onto your balls-to-the-wall energy — you’re deliberately flooring the gas pedal. While the industry lines itself up into neat rows of identical “correct” releases, you kick the door in and hurl sacrifices, orgies, and vomit-soaked imagery straight into the audience’s face. Loud. Filthy. Without apologies.
This is art that doesn’t ask to be loved — it provokes, irritates, repels, and at the same time refuses to let you look away. A constant walk along the razor’s edge of “this is too much” — and that’s exactly why it deserves gratitude.
Thank you for the courage to be uncomfortable, for the willingness to shock, and for staying alive in an industry where that’s becoming increasingly rare.
^^ Pretty much this! The importance of this cannot be overstated.
Don't let cynical people who don't see the people behind the company discourage you. I agree to 100%.
Every company has people behind them, even EA. That doesn't change that for many, Larian included, earning money takes priority over artistic integrity and so things get changed to cater to customers.
You've already made your point, I think? Why write same thing again and again? No need to repeatedly crash other people's party, imo... Suit yourself though.
