  Sad none of those companies.

  Listen, all those companies suck, but you don’t have to put words in their mouths, everyone seems extremely positive about Baldurate, and I would say almost all developer aspire to reach the same breadth and depth as Baldur’s Gate 3 with as much polish as they put on it. There’s a long list of reasons why they can’t or don’t (often publishers… or scope creep… but mostly publishers).

  Unless there’s a massive thread of shit talking from other developers that I’m missing, but I’m pretty sure that doesn’t exist.

    The companies haven’t officially said it, but various people working for these companies have whined about it on their personal social media.

    Agreed. What’s especially dumb is that only one of these studios (BioWare) is even in the business of making the same genre of game.

      BioWare hasn’t been in that business for quite some time now

  All these companies have to do is remember the olden days and make complete games like they used to.

  Heck, Baldur’s Gate 3 was inspired by games like Baldur’s Gate 2 and Neverwinter Nights made by Bioware.

    They did not forgot the old ways. It was not profitable for the investors.

  I know what this post is referencing, but I don’t think that was really the message that they were trying to convey.

  Baldurs Gate 3 is an incredibly good game, but it will be difficult for most average studios to emulate their success.

  They had a very long developmental cycle of 6+ years, very successful early access, and a team of 400+ experienced developers who know this genre better than anyone.

  I would absolutely love to see another studio attempt something this ambitious, but it’s going to be really hard to top this game for the foreseeable future.
