Swen Vincke, the founder of Larian Studios and director of Baldur's Gate 3, argues against the notion that single-player video games are dead, asserting that they must simply be well-made to succeed. He highlights the pitfalls of the current trend towards multiplayer and live-service games, which can carry greater risks. Vincke emphasizes that successful games often stem from a genuine passion to create something unique, rather than from commercial pressures or market share objectives. Recent successes in the single-player genre further support his perspective.
