Swen Vincke says the price of RAM and SSDs means Larian will be doing lots of optimisation in Divinity's early access 'that we didn't necessarily want to do at that point in time'

RAM prices have been, uh—bad. You can keep track of them yourself via the work of our diligent hardware team, but the rampant use of generative AI by big tech has led to such sharp increases, you could basically watch them climb in real time. This has also impacted Larian, of all people.

That's per an interview with TheGamer, wherein Larian CEO Swen Vincke told the site that it's facing issues with "the price of RAM and the price of SSDs and fuck, man. It's like, literally, we've never had it like this".
