Larian Studiosilla oli varasuunnitelma sen varalle, että Baldur's Gate III tekee mahalaskun

Baldur's Gate III oli menestys jo silloin, kun se Early Access -taipaleensa aloitti. Aina voi jokin silti mennä vikaan, joten Larian Studiosin pomolla Swen Vinckellä oli varasuunnitelma sen varalle, että Baldur's Gate III tekisikin mahalaskun.

Eurogamerin haastattelussa Vincke kuvaili "vaihtoasemia", joihin yhtiö olisi tarvittaessa vetäytynyt.

"We built multiple fallback positions, in case it was going to go wrong - before we started doing this. I have a minority investment, so I had that in my back pocket in case it was going to go wrong. So this was my baseline, otherwise, I wasn't going to take the risks that we took with Baldur's Gate 3, because it was too much of a risk. So that's actually also why I did it, or part of the reasons I did it. So, there's that."

Tulevaisuuden ennakointi noin suurin piirtein oli kuitenkin mahdollista, mikä auttoi riskien ottamisen laskelmoinnissa.

"So we can forecast, more or less, and function - if we don't f*** up too much, there's always a risk involved, right? I'm never gonna say there's no risk - but you can forecast more or less where you're gonna land, based on interest, based on Early Access sales. So we could see where we are. And so we're good for quite a number of years with where we are right now."
