Uh, in this case it's a single-player, shooter, from a brand new IP. I'm probably just commenting just to argue but I don't think Baldur's Gate 3 is a good comparison at all.
I think you might be, haha.
But in the i terest of a fairer comparison, i had a quick google and found this game "atomic heart," a generally well received game with high ratings and the following from Steam Revenue calculator
"We estimate that Atomic Heart made $55,756,625.68in gross revenue since its release. Out of this, the developer had an estimated net revenue of $16,448,204.58."
New ip, single-player, shooter.
Comparatively, immortals lost money and tbey apparently laid of 45% of the staff who made it to avoid losses.
