Larian Studios Head: Industry Layoffs Due to Large Companies' Failure to Adapt
-
Larian Studios' head says industry layoffs are an "avoidable f*ck-up" caused by large companies' inability to swiftly change course.
-
He attributes Baldur's Gate 3's success partly to Larian's nimbleness and ability to adapt plans day-by-day.
-
Large game companies focus on predicting trends and pleasing shareholders rather than employees.
-
Layoffs happen when companies fail to accurately predict and adapt to changing player habits.
-
Larian won't develop Baldur's Gate 3 DLC or any more Dungeons & Dragons games, stepping away from the franchise.
