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.

    The indie scene in Video Gaming is FAR stronger than the Indie Scene for at least movies, which I think will cement the ownership vs subscription in a stronger way than music and videos had. Digital ownership does have its worrying traits, but I still think Video Game ownership will stay strong at least as long as Gaben is alive, past that, if Valve DOES nosedive, well the internet’ll still internet

      It’s because of Unreal/Unity/Godot…we have extremely powerful and relatively free/cheap tools that ANYONE can use.

      Making movies takes a much higher initial budget
