The laziest developers are always the most vocal about “it’s the hardwares fault” .. they’ll probably release the game on switch at some point and you won’t hear a peep from these clowns. At least when BG3 does release the PC community and PS “gamers” would have bug tested this :) |
I highly doubt Larian is even close to being "Lazy Developers". I know this is usually the go to saying for gamers when something does not meet their standard but in business, its just a case of time, experience and resources. All three are not infinite and as a business, every developer has to make a decision financially where they put those 3 at. PC which is the main platform for the game you definitely put all your resources on that platform. PS5, you definitely support that system, the install base cannot be ignored. XBox, which is the third platform that has 2 SKUs which you have to have parity with both, well if one of those SKUs is hold up getting your game to market, its going to be the one getting the least support.
As a business, Larian just released the PC version, they need to put their full focus on getting the PS5 to market and at some point when resources are available they can put more effort to the Xbox versions. If BG3 is big enough for MS, they should be shipping engineers to Larian to get them up to speed on the Series S to help get the game ship but then again MS has their own big RPG coming so its probably not a priority for them.
