The director of Baldur's Gate 3, Swen Vincke, was one of many to speak out on the recent mass layoffs within the video games industry at an industry awards show last night, blaming the job losses on corporate "greed" that had been "fucking this whole thing up for so long".

Well it‘s good for Larian though. If they really want to release a game bigger than BG3 in 4 years or less like they announced, they‘ll have to tripple their workforce. There must be a lot of great talent searching for a job right now for Larian to pick up.

Let's hope Vincke (or someone who shares his values) remains in charge. Larian is one of the gems right now, and I'm looking forward to seeing what else they make.
