Those developers trying to shit on Larian need to cry and seethe more. Terribly incompetent people who can't create good games themselves, why not trying taking notes instead?

Keep up the great work Larian.

The devs are mostly not the problem with the state of AAA games today, it's the people telling them what to do in order to maximise profits.

Same as with most problems we face as a species, really.

I can't find developers doing this. Seems like a mostly made up concern by overly sensitive people looking to be angry about something.

The picture in the OP is PR for a publishing company. There are many other accounts of people who work in the industry who are angry/jealous of Larian. You're probably just not looking in the right places.

This entire story was started by game developers on social media (Twitter) complaining about consumer expectations in the wake of Baldur's Gate 3.

This is the bad take management wants you to have.

[–] Call_Me_Maple@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who in management exactly? As far as I know Larian is not responsible for the tweets aside from just making a good game.

[–] RegularGoose@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not talking about Larian, I'm talking about the studios who want to keep cranking out suppisedly AAA games that are little more than creatively bankrupt, dressed up vending machines.

Yeah, in that case I totally agree. It's just ineptitude shouting at excellence.
