Larian Studios head Swen Vincke sees AI tools differently than other game creators. He believes AI might change how games are made, but not replace human developers. Vincke thinks AI helps teams work faster, but they will make more content with that extra time. Many think AI speeds up game-making, but Vincke says developers always need more time than planned anyway.
Vincke doubts AI alone gives companies any real edge since everyone can access the same tech. He feels teams like Larian will keep standing out because they craft stories with personal care. Their studio builds game situations through careful human design rather than automation. When staff worry about job loss, Vincke tells them their roles will change but remain important. He sees AI as just another tool that shifts how people work without making them less valuable.
