Why would they even care though? Heck, they could be in the same building. It’s not as if Larian’s going to bringing T72 tanks or self-propelled artillery with them to lay siege…

I guess it depends on the labor market, it could mean more competition for the same pool of game developers.

Cd is way bigger, if they felt anything related to that it would he that Larian is killing themselves by only picking up the scraps

What else should the PR department say?

Oh no, this is going to have a huge impact on our bottom line and potential hires, better sell that publicly traded stock real fast!

Is this really considered "news"?

Apparently.

Definitely good for the game devs themselves, who actually have two major studios to choose between now (for local work anyway, there's always remote options of course)

Good to see them being gentlemen about it. Whether it's for show is something else but I don't see a second large gaming company moving in being very detrimental.
