The fact that small studio Larian is being compared to the other juggernauts is a win on its own. They blew sales expectations out of the water and definitely made money.
I haven't played the game myself and not a "fanboy", but BG3 was objectively successful by every metric, like it or not.

That's one of the worst things to happen to gaming, because it gives every studio -- and all the woketards -- all the ammo they need to keep pushing woke nonsense.
Normies will also use BG3 as another notch on the Overton Window further moving Left to say "Well, BG3 was a good game. Who cares about the woke stuff? You probably don't even know what woke means!"
I've seen plenty of coomer planktards on the normie YouTube videos defending BG3 as a "great game", and anyone pointing out the woke stuff is usually shouted down by the plankies.
Expect many other studios to follow suit in adding equal amounts of woke-stuff and following Larian's footsteps in adding a lot of (routed) "choices" so people will continue to defend the woke RPGs as they have with BG3.
Weirdly enough, I have at least two games in my Steam library that are over 5 years old, still being developed, both of which had major releases recently with more to come.
7 Days to Die doesn't count. That game is an absolute freak of nature.
You're always going to find exceptions to the rule, though. And it's telling that neither game are from Triple-A studios.

Absolutely agree. OP makes it sound like the game flopped though when it clearly didn't. It's the equivalent of putting your head in the sand.
