Baldur's Gate 3 Dev Flattered by Acquisition Speculation, but Not Interested

Larian Studios, the developer of Baldur's Gate 3, has stated that it has no plans to be acquired despite recent speculation that Microsoft had considered buying the studio. Founder and CEO Swen Vincke finds the attention flattering but believes that a new owner might limit creative choices for profit. Vincke also expressed interest in working on smaller projects and avoiding another six-year development cycle. Baldur's Gate 3 has finally launched on PC, with positive early feedback, and plans for releases on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
