Swen is our knight in shining armor, literally

@FredericoASousa

I'm not troubled to wait 4, 5, 6 years for a new RPG from them. They have earned it. I hope they are only limited by their own self imposed decisions. I want them to have the freedom to create what they want, because that is what I want to play.

@YourSuzerain

A lot of people are expecting DOS3, but I think Larian would do amazing with a brand new IP.

@mattwithoutfear

We must protect Larian at all costs!

@CFarrer10

Best studio in the industry! Can’t wait for what they do in the future. Just please, please don’t lose what made you great like so many other once beloved studios.

@vincentarogya

The best thing about Larian Studios is that their players are their shield. I'm gonna be picking up their next game in early access, and until then I'm gonna keep playing BG3.

@Neverback666

The way he talks about his team and vision, very cool to see! Finally a CEO who understands company = its people, all the rest is the byproduct of their passion and talent.

@artbymesa

I really appreciate how respectfully and intelligently he's talking about using machine learning. Automating the repetitive stuff that no one wants to do. That's how it should be. That's what it should be meant for if anything. I don't know that there's many, if any, other CEOs that understands that and that I would trust to speak openly about it in an honest way.

@doktorcito2629

Great interview!
I understand better now why Larian is successful. In no small part due his top leader, Swen. He seems to be humble, despite their success, learner mindset and genuine customer focus!

@mortek1379

Excellent interview! Swen is one of those "rare" guys in the industry who deserves to be protected by all consumers and workers! Huge respect to both of them! The interviewer also asked some key questions!

@greyroo

May your plate armour never rust Swen.

@LordMuzhy

I love you Swen!!! I’m 31 hours so far into my first ever BG3 playthrough and I’ve beaten Divinity Original Sin 1 & 2, such amazing games! Cannot wait to see what you guys put out next!!!

@Dracobyte

Good luck to Larian Studios in their future projects!

@chubbysloth5720

Larian is the one Studio I trust that it uses AI and machine learning just to improve processes and making the life of developers easier, not to replace them.

@ChristophRPG

Listening to Swen is such a breath of fresh air. Blocking out all the greed and dishonesty from many other game companies and online personalities can be difficult, but Swen is one of those people that can really give us as a community a lot of hope for the future.

Support indie developers as much as you can.

@StoneDigitalArtCanada

I love so much that Larian had the opportunity to make boat loads of money from DLC and even started a little way down that path before deliberately choosing NOT to because their heart wouldn't have been in it. It's that passion for the project that always distinguishes the great games from the generic slop.

@lotrichexe4860

As a Project Leader of Path to Menzoberranzan custom campaign mod, Im getting really excited when i hear this 1:20

@sedativeman

"I used to think the same thing until I got educated from reality" LOL
He is clearly trying to say something like "Yea me too but apparently they're not!" but he is thinking in his native tongue like how tf do you say this....
Love Sven, love Larian, loved their work since Original Sin 1. I was telling everyone to keep an eye on this company for years. I'm happy for their recognition!

I hope to see them in literally every genre of CRPG because they make great games. Cyberpunk, Space Opera, Grim Dark, you name it.

@jblaze173

I love the fact that Swen can talk about other games in the proper context, knowing what makes them good games, and that he does so willingly. He is not afraid of others success. Larian Studio's is one of the very few I actually look forward to their next games. Owl Cat is another.

@GabrielBadwolf

Love Swen because he’s the developer executive but he’s also one of us. He’s an old gamer like myself and he’s also been in this industry for a long time and has learned a lot, but most of all he makes games because he wants to play them.
