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're gambling addicts

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
