So the answer is for the ones who make nice things because of a nice system they have to just stop because the other crabs can't get out of the bucket. Maybe their beef should be with their idiot boss, not with the guys who do the work.

Whatever happened to companies learning from other's successes instead of trying to keep others down?

The above post isn't saying that Larian or other devs shouldn't make games like BG3. It's saying that we shouldn't expect the massive amount of content and options in BG3 for every game

My bad, I have interpreted it as apologetic for the people yelling at Larian for 'ruining it' for everyone.

I agree that we should not expect this sort of quality from everything, after all Gauss' curve applies universally and this is quite far from the mean as I see it. We would just maybe like... less shite.

But it's not like Larian are the first to raise the bar. I remember the days when Blizzard was an awesome company. Then I remember Bethesda being awesome. Now it's Larian on the spotlight. I may not have followed the news back when the others were good, but I don't remember such attitudes around as mentioned in the original post, to basically discredit instead of leaving it alone.

I mean, we didn't have nearly as much social media back then and a 24/7 news cycle that causes random tweets to be blown up into IGN articles. I think the initial tweet was just a random thought that got spun way out of proportion
