    Ummmm…Baldur’s Gate 3, anyone? How about Dragon Age: Veilguard? Those are just off the top of my head.

      BG3, yes. Massive success.

      Veilguard is a massive flop. It sold a lot compared to other games, sure, but based on the amount of money they spent and time in development, that was a shit investment. They were expecting like 10m sales, doing 1.5 instead according to whistleblowers.

        I’m sure it saved time starting from the template from Hogwarts legacy. The real problem is veilguard isnt an RPG. Divinity original sin 2 is a better game IMO.

          And from the same developer. It’s almost as though who makes the game is just as important. 😉

      Yeeah… this sounds the usual “Why, why aren’t these games selling?” fans screaming, explaining what’s wrong, begging “Guess this kind of games just don’t sell”
