What a mess of a title that article has, bizarrely referring to a studio as a creator (singular) makes this read like EA is considering murdering Swen

BioWare didn’t make Baldur’s Gate, am I missing something? This article reads like it was written by a stroke victim

Edit: RIP me I knew Larian had existed forever and wrongly assumed it had made all the BG games

They made Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2 and the expansion packs for each (Tales of the Sword Coast and Throne of Bhaal). Of course no one who actually worked on Baldur’s Gate 1 is still at the company. (James Ohlen was the last as far as I can see and he left in 2018)
