Maybe stop relying on stuff a guy on a Discord or a Youtube video told you? Just a thought.What actually happened was an INDIE game dev (I repeat INDIE) with AAA experience made a slightly hand-wringing thread pointing out that most publishers won't allow studios to spend as much time and effort on a game as Larian did, and thus, we won't see a bunch of CRPGs of similar quality. Then a couple of AA/AAA game devs commented to agree (including Josh Sawyer, who is one of the most transparent and honest game devs out there, and who used to be an RPG.net poster in days of yore). Then "gamers", because they're absolute idiots decided to try and make this into a sort of meme-y deal. Instead of understanding the industry and being realistic, they just like to post Crying Wojaks for other AAA devs and Yes Chads for Larian and so on. What's really funny is Larian basically agrees with the indie dev and has said as much, because they're not planning on doing a game on a similar scale, maybe ever (this reminds me of Bioware saying they'd never do another interconnected trilogy of games after ME3, which has been true, sadly).And no-one has been attacking it for not having microtransaction. That wouldn't even make sense.Sadly it's not available on either of those, if that's an Xbox One. It's coming out on the PS5 next month and the Xbox Series X/S "later" (probably next year)</blockquote>
