"Baldur's Gate 3 CEO Warns Against Subscription-Based Gaming Future"

TL;DR Summary
Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke expresses concerns about the potential dominance of subscription-based models in the gaming industry, arguing that it could hinder developers' ability to create games driven by idealism and player preference. Vincke believes that subscription services may lead to a situation where platforms determine which games get made, rather than players. As a result, Larian has no plans to bring its titles to any subscription service, aiming to preserve the value of the existing gaming ecosystem.
