Baldur's Gate 3 boss was such a World of Warcraft fiend "through the entire pregnancy," he wonders if his son inherited his "big game addiction"

Larian Studios CEO and Baldur's Gate 3 director Swen Vincke recently revealed that one of his most-played games is actually World of Warcraft, and his MMO habit was so persistent at one point, he jokes that his son inherited his "big game addiction."

When asked about his most-played games ever in the interview with BAFTA below, Vincke reveals that that "would have been either World of Warcraft of Starcraft 2." Vincke and his wife apparently first began playing the immortal MMO when they were pregnant, "and so we played it through the entire pregnancy with the baby basically growing up, and then when he was [born] he was just sitting on her lap and we kept on playing." He then laughs that his son now "has a really big game addiction problem, which I think we caused!"

Thankfully, I don't think that's a genetic condition - otherwise the future children of Gamesradar staff are screwed since we've poured a cumulative 3,550 hours into the world-dominating RPG since its release an entire year ago. We're not alone either as most Baldur's Gate 3 players on average spent more time in the game than Bethesda fans have in Skyrim .

Elsewhere, Vincke recalls that the first games he ever played were Pong and Space Invaders. "When I played those first games, I remember thinking, 'I want to play more, more, more, more.' But my parents didn't agree," he said. "I played more, more, more because my parents were very busy and the guy next door owned the arcade hole."

A Baldur’s Gate 3 player hacked their way into the game’s rarest ending to find an alternative that’s literally impossible to achieve.
