I’m impressed with Larian’s output – this time. One of the big issues with modern gaming though is companies resting on past success and using it to seed new success that may not be warranted (e.g. getting people to preorder the next game which may or may not be good).
Tldr; the most anyone should really be about any dev at this point is cautiously optimistic and let the games speak for themselves.
Yeah, CDProjekt should teach many players a lesson by now. Past success does not guarantee future works.
But I do have a slight soft spot for Swen as I backed most of Larian’s kickstarter projects.(except the card game since I don’t play card games. )
If some day he no longer have majority in terms of stock holding for Larian, then it’s the time I will be more careful about their games.
