Here's a question: what qualifies as "a good businessman" to you? I ask because what a good businessman is is probably not what you're thinking.No one gives a shit about Feargus or Swen's "bad tastes" or "underhanded behavior", what that matters is that Swen is objectively and undeniably a way better businessman than Feargus.
They're both better than Tim but neither of them are what I would consider good. The game industry is lacking in good businessmen.
Swen never panders and never chases trend unlike Feargus.![]()

Swen is the #1 creative force behind all of Larian's games. They've had a massive amount of turn-over, and a lot of growth with the past two, but they all feel like Larian games, and that's because of him.Sven seems to be smart enough to understand that he isn't the creative force of his games, the other devs are, and he's willing to back off and leave them alone.

I talk about being consistent as a leader and why this is so important to your team.

Back to the Future.Am I from the future? I could've sworn he released this video a week ago.
Maybe, maybe not. But even if this is the case it would be telling that at least their HR department is shit at their own job.If there are a lot of bad reviews, wouldn't that mean the company had a flawed hiring process that repeatedly gave jobs to bad candidates?
A company is no better than the people it employs...Tim is skeptical of negative glassdoor reviews, believing they may be a result of bad employees who choose to blame the company instead of self-reflect.
