Nah man, BG3's release was a phenomenon. I had people who are barely gamers casually start talking about D&D party dynamics and how nice it was to have a game focused at adults. I don't think Larian was even prepared for it to be such a slam dunk.

Honestly i feel like it was huge, i can only think of a few titles that i would consider their launch to be so much of a culutral event, and not many in recent years. Half-life 2 for sure, skyrim, i guess doom 3. Since then maybe only cyberpunk and elden ring i guess? But even that felt different

Hasbro saw the dollar signs that came with a video game and will try and force someone else to do the next one to hit those sweet, sweet shareholder numbers. Unfortunately it will be marred by poor middle-management, unrealistic deadlines, and overworked developers. Larian very carefully crafted BG3 with love for the franchise and the community that plays it.
