"what funding?"is a dumb question. all companies have funding. especially software. very few companies legit started in a basement and progressed to international status relying purely on profit and loss sheets.
It is not when replying to the comment. There was no funding for being a dnd game. They are simply lying for their point.
Just as an FYI, the user who posted "what funding?" Works for Larian; director of publishing.
you are ignorant.. you don't understand what he's talking about.. they are both talking about VC funding.. that means Venture Capital, which you did not know.. for some reason you are here being ignorant and loud about something you do not understand..
You ain't wrong but why so smug?
Learn some tact if you are actually looking to educate people
maybe it's important, but i appreciate your feedback.. it's good for the discussion..
Larian recieved debt funding to found in 2009, late stage VC in 2011 (presumably to offset loan repayments), recieved ongoing support from Arkafund VC and has crowd funded every year 2013โ2019. Tencent bought 3006 shares for 30% stake in either 2020 or '21 (not sure exact date).
