24 employees are reportedly in danger of being let go.
Δεν το λες και τεράστια έκπληξη, η αλήθεια είναι.

SignUp Now!Larian Studios' head of production David Walgrave also took to the microphone to share a few words. "We ask you to pay one price only for the game, and that's it—you can own it for the rest of your life. We don't have shareholders, but we also don't think about them. There's an expression in Dutch—'honesty lasts longest', or something."
That reads to me like a dig at Embracer Group's recent comments. In a gaudy bit of saying the quiet part out loud, Embracer remarked that its "overruling principle is to always maximize shareholder value in any given situation" in a financial report. This was in the wake of laying off 1,400 employees over six months in 2023. A failure to read the room, even if it's patently true.
"We don't make decisions where we think 'this could make us the most money'," Walgrave continues. "In the long run, building a community, building a playerbase, building games that are actually fun is going to make you the most money, that's it."
Larian Studios does technically have a single shareholder in Tencent—which owns around 30% of the company. However, an important piece of context is that Tencent appears to own what's called a "preference" share, meaning that Tencent doesn't have voting rights when it comes to Larian's decision making. The rest of the company belongs to CEO and Founder Swen Vincke and his wife.
I'm noting this more for clarifications' sake, rather than to disagree with anything Walgrave said—when we think of the influence shareholders typically have on large gaming companies and publishers, Larian Studios is under no obligation to kiss the ring.

Καλά έκανε , αφού όλα αυτά τα άλλα project ήταν μεγάλες εμπορικές επιτυχίες, οπότε άξιζε που έβαλε στον πάγο ένα ιστορικό (και μισοτελειωμένο ) παιχνίδι.Απ'ότι ισχυρίζεται ο Ηλίας Τουφεξής, η Eidos πίσω στο 2020 είχε επικοινωνήσει μαζί του για να του ζητήσει να μιλάει ΛΙΓΟΤΕΡΟ για τον Adam Jensen, έτσι ώστε ο κόσμος να "εστιάσει στα υπόλοιπα πρότζεκτς της εταιρείας"![]()

Επίσης κάπου διάβασα ότι το roadmap τους πιάνει μέχρι και Δεκέμβριο 2024. Θα αποδειχθεί άραγε το project αποστολή αυτοκτονίας και για την ίδια τη Rocksteady;![]()
