Yeah, that was the first red flag for me too. Even if it's true, that would mean his experience in game dev is not that much longer than the time it took to make BG3.

But even if we assume years in the industry is not a useful metric, the article makes a bunch of other assumptions. Like saying the player is "punished" by the existence of so many dead end dialogue options. I don't consider it a punishment to not see every single dialogue option a game has. I intend to make the choices in the game that I think are my best option, and if that means I miss out on some content, so be it, that's the experience I got.

But to flat out call the game "not good" us laughable. Particularly from someone so green in the industry.
