D&D 5E Dragon Age lead says Baldur’s Gate 3 and Clair Obscur prove publishers wrong as games can crush market trends is they’re “given time to cook”



"The Dragon Age lead explained that both Baldur’s Gate 3 and Clair Obscur do appeal “very, very strongly to that one audience” but that appeal is so strong and so high quality that it ends up expanding the core audience."

I've been saying for years that your hardcore fans are engine of the hype machine that draws in the semicasuals who draw in the casuals, expanding your audience. You make your hardcore audience happy, that builds hype that gets others excited and wanting to try it.

Worked for 5E.

Ideally you keep the hard core happy who spread the word.

Lots of companies notch thongs by trying to appeal to everyone which can appeal to no one.

Depends on product and execution.
 







Was the mobile game "Heroes of Dragon Age" really that good?
Never played it. Dragon Age 2 was excellent in spite of a few cut corners due to its rushed timeline, and Dragon Age Inquisition, while buggy, was likewise excellent, and got game of the year for good reason.

Veilguard is ok. It’s by far the most polished entry in the series, but its writing suffered a great deal from the rocky development cycle. A disappointing finale, but far from the terrible mess the reactionary gamergate redux crowd would have you believe it is.
