Split Fiction's Josef Fares says they'll never offer microtransactions: "Just make games. Period."

Fares is the one billionaire i respect, since he only just became one (due to hazelight's value rocketing up). he came to Sweden as a refugee at age ten, spent all his life just making fun movies, got into games, then exploded internationally in just a few years.
he was a guest on a talk show recently, together with the new world champion of the women's biathlon. when the topic of prize money came up and she mentioned she got 300k SEK for her win, he got pissed at the small amount and wired her another 300k on the spot.
This guy is awesome, but being like this should be the norm and nothing special. Unfortunately it isn't the norm.
Can you link to that talk show?

Do you have a source that states that he’s a billionaire?

the talk show linked in another comment. hazelight studios is valued at 10 billion SEK and he is the owner.

That’s barely a billion dollars. And it’s a private company if there is a valuation than somebody bought a share in the company, he doesn’t own 100% of the company. So he’s at most only a Krona billionaire.

Thank you
didn't understand the language but I did understand the overall moment

The worlds and gameplay are varied enough to always keep you from getting bored. The controls are pretty solid but aren't offering anything groundbreaking. The dialogue is not great, often cringe but occasional good moments. The story and villains are poorly written. Lots of nods to other video games, pretty ham-handed but they can be fun sometimes. The fun you have will depend on who you play with. 7/10 for me.
