I honest hope, down to my core, that Larian becomes as big as Rockstar Games or Blizzard without all the ‘We need to keep growing’ BS for stockholders. Just make great games and the fandom will follow for years.
I don’t. I don’t think you can grow to that kinda size without engaging in growth and profit chasing. We don’t need a Blizzard that behaves like Larian, we need lots of Larians.
Publicly traded companies are the root of the issue. Quarterly earnings reports and the related short term profit motive are the worst. Most public stock prices are basically pure speculation, barely better than crypto.

So true. Ideally, ones without shareholders… Once they get in, there’s a constant pressure to grow, take more loans and use it to rapidly scale up.
You can dig in your heels and hold the line, but you can only hold your ground or lose ground until you’re forced to IPO

Yep, this is it. If they can just maintain from here on out, without getting greedy, they will be beloved through the ages
