    Dan is very talented game developer/writer, undoubtedly. I loved his games from og Mafia to KCD, where he has a strong vision and follows it no matter what, which puts a soul to these games.

    But other than that? Oh boy, he’s such a difficult person, aka an asshole to the max. Hateful, narcissistic mr knowitall who spits conspiracy shit. And everyone who oppose him gets banned on his platforms, which earned him nickname Ban/Baniel Vavra (instead of Dan/Daniel).

      Thanks for the info. I didn’t know anything about him. I took one look at KCD and thought it was too tedious. Gave KCD2 a couple of hours try and felt very validated in my earlier assessment.

      So many devs are like this…

      I dunno. As long as the other devs involved are ultimately treated well, and the end result of their vision is good, I can live with an asshole dev.

      But I guess there’s an existential risk of their personality “taking over.”

        As I said, I respect him as a dev. But apart from that he’s such an asshole. Most likely aiming for career in politics next elections on top of all.
