Larian’s Baldur’s Gate 3 is poised to be one of the biggest cinematic role-playing games in years & many devs are criticizing the scale/scope of it!
Interesting video describing various developers’ take on the game. Is it a genre-defining game or not?
Sounds more like a straw-man you’re criticizing than anything.
And Larian is definitely a AAA developer at this point. Once you have hundreds of people working on a game you aren’t a small developer anymore.
