"Baldur's Gate Unveils Sinister New Ending"

Baldur's Gate 3 is a treasure trove of secrets, with Larian Studios gradually unveiling the depths of their game. Dataminers have been instrumental in uncovering various secrets, including a particularly intriguing evil ending. This ending, which involves the protagonist extracting and destroying the illithid parasite without harm, was rediscovered during the testing phase of the game's eighth major patch. Following this, the protagonist faces a choice: to leave with their companions or to abandon them.

The gaming community eagerly anticipates the release of this eighth patch, expecting it to fully integrate this evil ending into Baldur's Gate 3. Meanwhile, the gaming industry is grappling with other news. BioWare, the developer behind Dragon Age: The Veilguard, recently announced layoffs, sparking discussions about the industry's health. Michael Daus, the publishing director at Larian Studios, has been vocal on social media about these layoffs. He emphasizes the importance of valuing workers and suggests that decision-makers should bear the burden of downsizing rather than the regular workforce. Daus argues against the necessity of firing a significant portion of the development team between or after projects, highlighting the value of retaining institutional knowledge for future endeavors.
