As far as I know and have read, Larian actually gave its workers time and resources to complete Baldur's Gate 3 under bearable conditions, so I'm all for spreading this meme, even if it's in an old and tired Wojak/Chad format. wojak-nooo soviet-chad

I'm not one of those "harmful worker conditions are fine if I enjoy the treat" alienated and insulated consumers so that actually matters to me. only-good-gamer

Baldur’s Gate 3’s release was moved to be 3 weeks earlier because instead of setting an unrealistic date and going through a horrible crunch to finish it they gave themselves plenty of time to do it right and didn’t even need the last of it

Edit: I was wrong, although it does sound like the crunch wasn’t nearly as bad as the big names. The ideal amount is 0 though.

Also they timed it not to coincide with the Starfield and Armored Core release dates. Still, they presumably were only able to manage that because they were ahead of schedule.
