      Larian is privately owned. They don’t have stockholders to appease with short term gains.

        Which is weird because they remain shareholders for years, so you’d have thought they want long-term gains.

        I think I’ve come to the conclusion that “businessmen” are just idiots.

          They do. They just also want short-term and medium-term gains.

        Incorrect. The shareholders are the private owners. They’re just not gambling douchebags trying to make themselves short term gains. :D
