They bought it though, didn't they?

Yeah. Not because they were dying for a new crpg, but because they heard it was the highest quality game to come out in years. I don’t think most of them would buy a hypothetical BG4 and a few have already said they wouldn’t.

Honestly that's fine. Not every game is for everyone.

I bought Hollow Knight because everyone said it was amazing and it seemed exactly like the kind of game I would like. I bought it, played for several hours, but ultimately stopped because I wasn't having fun.

As a result I didn't buy Silksong. But... Silksong seems to be doing just fine.


For me Baldur's Gate I & II were the best games I played growing up. Divinity Original Sin I & II were the best games I'd played in recent years. I had high expectations for Baldur's Gate III and the game exceeded them.

Of course even I would be wary of a Baldur's Gate IV. I don't trust Hasbro to be able to make a quality game.
