As far as I know and have read, Larian actually gave its workers time and resources to complete Baldur's Gate 3 under bearable conditions, so I'm all for spreading this meme, even if it's in an old and tired Wojak/Chad format. wojak-nooo soviet-chad

I'm not one of those "harmful worker conditions are fine if I enjoy the treat" alienated and insulated consumers so that actually matters to me. only-good-gamer

    “We're certainly doing overtime as we're getting close to release,” he said. “Now, definitely, in this last month towards release, things are tenser because it's just a lot of stuff that has to come together, and it's very hard to do that nine-to-five.”

    Do you actively guard against crunch - are you on the lookout for it?

    I think the team as a whole guards against it, but necessity sometimes happens.

    yeah nah there was crunch, when both the CEO is admitting it, and the glassdoor reviews also corroborate this

    even ignoring the rest of production you don't have the suits suddenly move the release date ahead by a month at the last second and not have crunch

      Well, damn.

      I retract my uncritical support to Larian and replace it with conditional critical support for being less terrible then the current AAA industrial standard then. yea

          No colorblind options. Big middle finger to their own employees who I'm sure had at least one person that's impaired. Also to gamers. It's 2023 there's no excuse to have other accessibility shit and not a colorblind filter.

          Fuuuuuuuuck. deeper-sadness
