We need to support and embrace this kind of games and studios more. They put so much love and effort into the game. But in the end, this game will probably profit as much as what Fortnite make in a couple months.
It's always sadden me to know that even something as successful as Elden Ring, which sold 20 millions copies and made 1.2 Billion dollars, is nothing compared to what microtransactions make in games like CoD (2 Billion dollars per year) or Fortnite (over 5 Billion dollars per year).
And people complain why they "don't make good games anymore".
And candy companies earn more than local artisanal food, so what.
Most people don’t want this type of game.
Pokémon is regularly one of the best selling games out there, so saying most people don't want turn-based RPGs doesn't sound right.
I consider computer RPGs to be more in the vein of tactical RPGs rather than Pokemon/Final Fantasy style turn based RPGs tbh. It's turn based, but positioning is key. Or, at least they scratch the same itch for me.
And Fire Emblem, XCOM, FF Tactics, etc have never exactly had mind blowing sales.
Pokemon is so much less complex than BG3. It's a bad comparison. If you exclude competitive pokemon, which 99% of people never engage with.
