They may bankrupt if Divinity will flop. BG3 and Divinity are very expensive games to make, they had to expand studio and hire a lot of people to produce them.

The company was registered in Prague for political and financial reasons, but it has always been Russian to the core. Yes, they had multiple offices outside of Russia, but they were still mostly populated by relocated Russians. That's why their product quality significantly dropped since 2022, as they've cut themselves from their main source of engineers.
