Comment on Larian have two new games in the works, "fueled by the very same fire" as Baldur's Gate 3
Nima@leminal.space 6 months agoyou’re assuming that I’m not informed about the goings-on and assuming that I’d be loyal to any company for an extended period of time. This is not the case.
I’m simply someone who likes to play well-made games that strike my fancy. And I support the company that made it. And at this time, the company who made it have some views about the gaming industry that I agree with.
You’re trying to hold me accountable for what might happen in future. I’m asking that you respect my intelligence enough to know when I’m being manipulated. I’ve been a gamer a very long time. We know. Which is why I can happily say I’d love to see what Larian comes up with next. and I support them.
I am capable of understanding the difference between fanboy and supporter. Thank you, though.

Your original comment does not align with this correction, so I think it’s important to take my view with that context in mind. I cannot read your mind, only what you write, and so yes I do hold you accountable for a crass statement and as far as supporting a company I do believe that’s the root of the problem, companies should not be supported, the people who make up the company should. As far as trusting your intelligence, I do, but I think Agent K said it best years ago. “A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.”. You may believe yourself immune to manipulations; but life will quickly disprove that assumption if you pay attention long enough. We’re all human.

that is true. I tend to usually think in terms of individual gamers, I guess. I’m not very young and 95% of my friends game, so I’m sure I’m some kind of exception.
my original comment was just me agreeing that I’d be interested in whatever they make next and that is true in this moment. I think its ok to be excited for things while knowing it could all go tits up.
life doesn’t have to have reminders that things could suck later. they don’t suck now. and I’m excited for what’s to come.
