| Chazore said: Reading into that article more, as well as watching LK's video on the matter made me realise that some indie devs need to stay in their own lane and not act like they know absolutely everything about the industry (especially if their games are very small time projects and don't have renown to go with them). |
Well, I can see where some of the indies are coming from in regards to this, but it is still weird to counter an argument, that hasn't even been made at that point the thread was made. But yeah, if you judge an indie game in regards to Baldur's Gate you should rethink, because a game like that needs resources.
But it is another story when this Diablo 4 designer chimes in and saying stuff according to the lines that larian rides on experience of previous games and such. Diablo is an old series and Blizzard has a lot of experience with it. And also Blizzard/Activision is much bigger than Larian. So yeah, Blizzard doesn't get a free pass, Diablo totally can be judged by BG standards, as can Starfield or Final Fantasy. These teams have the experience with their series and they also command resources bigger than Larian.
