        Tencent only got preference shares AFAIK (i.e. they can’t vote with them).

        Yup, and that seems to be going okay for them. Maybe the guttural reaction you have to that information is misplaced.

          What reaction? I literally just asked a question.

          Edit: Also I’m not sure what you think “guttural” means, but it doesn’t work the way you tried to use it here.

          Swap the percentage of ownership and see how fast that changes.

          Maybe the fact you assumed it was specifically more negative because it was tencent says something else 🤔

    You can feel the love when you play their games. I’m old. I remember Baldurs Gate, Icewind Dale. Neverwinter Nights when it first hit, how big it was, how large the following was.

    Playing Divinity OS was the first game in a while that had a love of RPG feels to it of yore. No surprise that they landed BG3.

      Didn’t know they also did Divinity!

      Their games aren’t in my style but you can tell how much passion they put into them. I’d love having Larian to revive the old RPG genre and it’s level of worldbuilding. BG3-tier writing is sadly absent from many modern games.

    Larian seems like a great company. This is exactly the type of game studio that we should be supporting with our money. I loved BG3 because of them, not because of the D&D licence.
