Cyprus is common a proxy that Russian companies use to evade sanctions. Hence why they also have connected offices in two Russian-speaking places as well lol
As for the studio itself Owlcat Games was originally established as an international company and we had employees all around the world. After the pandemic started and the team switched to remote work the process of relocation started almost on its own. Right now we are actively helping our employees to move to different places like Cyprus, where our HQ is located, a new office in Armenia and other European countries where they can focus on work and creativity. We already have successful experience of decentralized and remote work for the last two years and we believe that the team will continue to create great games further.

Our headquarters had always been in Cyprus, with developers working from multiple countries. A lot of developers were located in Moscow until recently, but now many of us are relocating to Cyprus, Armenia and other places. If there was anything good in the pandemic, it is that it gave us a plenty of experience in coordinating and working on our projects online from multiple locations, so we can continue to create games for you guys.

Didn't even finish Rogue Trader but I voted for it to support Putler. Hopefully there's an update that lets me bang the alien chick someday
Wait, you can't bang the Sister of Battle OR the Eldar? Are they allergic to money or something?
I think you can have psychic sex or something but not sure as I failed the romance despite having a perfect relationship score because I held her hand in a dream or something stupid. Maybe GW has something to do with it, otherwise its really strange coming from the same people who made WOTR and added a dating mechanic in a Warhammer game

You just repeated the same thing you said in the first post 3 times. Are you okay?
<Rusty_Shackleford> tweed's PC is too weak to run bg3
<@Rusty_Shackleford> it's why he's upset
<OysterSauce> tweed is literally a furfag I don't get why the bear bothers him
The most recent RPG I've played is still Geneforge Mutagen from 2021, so I can't vote in this poll.
Go ahead and vote for Caves of Lore then! It's a game you would like.
It feels unprincipled to vote when I haven't played the game in question, but I was starting to think about what I would play next, so I appreciate the suggestion. Hopefully the poll is set to remain open and I can vote later.
Technically released in Japan in 2020 but wasn't officially localized in English until 2023. The ultimate iteration of the Cold Steel battle system.. Playing on abyss difficulty was painful during the first couple chapters but then I started having a lot of fun. Very enjoyable combat and character building, loved trying to figure out how to battle those tough superbosses during chapters 2 and 3 Good music. Story wise, 2 out of the 3 routes were enjoyable. Great send off for Rean. Climatic mech duels. Top notch PC port. Only real caveat is that it is about liberating Crossbell for the Nth time, Lloyd tries his best to sabotage the game, and the overall quality of the English voice acting was wonky compared to prior games.
I enjoyed Persona 3 but not as the portable version a little more than BG3 overall. So I'll put my vote there since BG3 will likely win overall anyway.
@SoLong What about the Persona 3 Portable version did you dislike?
