Baldur's Gate 3 director and Larian CEO Swen Vincke reacts to the idea that we should get used to subscriptions, saying content is king.

Always good to see someone in the industry push back on all of these shitty tactics the AAA publishers want to push.

    I’d happily pay, say, $10 for a dlc that adds actual content when the base game is absolutely solid or excellent. What I won’t pay for is excessively expensive dlc or dlc that adds very little. I am also heavily unlikely to purchase any dlc that is poorly reviewed, even for a good game.

    Shame things like that are so rare. Hoping BG3’s success opens the doors again.

      FromSoft immediately springs to mind for DLC I’ll happily throw cheddar at. They always add a hefty chunk of new weapons/armor, new areas to explore, and spicy new boss fights that fuck my shit up.

      Heavily biased, they’re one of my favorite developers, but definitely never regret throwing money at FromSoft crew.
