I think BG3 was such a hit because a) it released right around the time when D&D has become mainstream and b) it was iterated on for years in Early Access before being fully released.
I have a feeling that very few of these “40” upcoming games will hit the same chords as BG3.
I’m sure after trend chasing zombie media that trend chasing GaaS will go even better /S
I worry about Bend Studios…
