Why devs consider Baldur’s Gate 3 anomaly, not new standard for RPG genre: “It’s Rockstar-level nonsense for scope” (gameworldobserver.com)

Sounds like a lot of devs throwing shade at a great game. I can't excuse AAA games for not putting out effort. CoD2k24, Assassin's Creed Season Pass, or whatever crap they're churning out that rides the coattails of games now over a decade old, doesn't cut it.

Everything is more expensive now, and if you can't make a better game, that's on you. You don't automatically get my money. I won't lower my expectations just because you have shareholders.
