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 think what Ubisoft and Microsoft don’t get is that SOME users are okay with subscriptions, but that’s a small bit compared to people who don’t.

Just cater to the niche that do want it and quit thinking you can make the whole market a subscription service.
