It's hard to believe that it's been 10 years since Divinity composer Kirill Pokrovsky . I still remember being shocked by the news: Pokrovsky was one of my favorite videogame composers, and he was a high-profile presence at Larian Studios, having created the music for every game the studio ever made up to Divinity: Original Sin—including The LED Wars, the one only true die-hards have ever heard of.
Maybe my faith in humanity is lower than it should be, but I found it genuinely heartening to see today that despite how far Larian has come over the past 10 years—from running Kickstarters to keep the lights on in Ghent to seven offices worldwide and telling Hasbro to take its money truck somewhere else—Pokrovsky is not forgotten.
"How has it been 10 years since we lost you, Kirill?" Larian wrote in a . "A mark left so deep, you’re still with us when the moments count, when we head into battle, and when the end credits roll. Forever cherished for who you were and what you helped achieve ❤."
