David Gaider is responsible for destroying games just as much as any EA suit. I'm not interested in what this faggot has to say. He's just trying to throw his corporate overlords under the bus to prove how different he is now that the tide is turning, but it's snake oil. If you don't remember him from the Bioware forums and you want to hear his real opinion on games and gamers, check some of the other interviews he's been doing lately.

He's not a friendly dev, he's a turncoat from the crumbling AAA monolith and a squealing pig in pain.
He says this like it isn't how capitalism and markets fucking work. If you want more of your product then other people's product needs to make less money and look less appealing to make. They made it clear it was us or them when the entire industry shifted towards them to shaft us, so it now absolutely has to be a battle to not only get yours, but also make others fail.
A revelation straight out of 2010 where Tumblr was literally making or breaking shows entirely on their own. But back then it was progressive fan pushing, so it wasn't on his radar.
Literally no one asked for them to be in the public sphere. Every single time one of them popped their heads up it was to say some stupid shit nobody wanted to know about or associate with their product. The only people who ever appreciated that was the ones wanting a reason to hate you and waiting for you to provide.
Back when he was still working for Bioware, he was more than happy to echo all the points he's now accusing his so-called corporate overlords of saying and enacting as policy.
So he's as much a cave troll as who he claims to fight?
He's had a very odd journey through gaming since before he went off the deep end he had made the Ascension mod for the original Baldur's Gate 2 which fixed a lot of things and expanded various characters as well as the Bhaalspawn elements throughout the game. And he did it on his own time for free.
It's been years since I last had the momentum to actually power through to Throne of Bhaal. Does the mod live up to the hype or is it about the same as the other well done ones from its era?
