Iβm pretty sure EA and Activision-Blizzard have similar or bigger budgets for their AAA games and they either make shit or microtransactions-filled games.
2K is huge and they always make NBA2K decent/good but full of terrible microtransactions
Nintendo is huge and look at Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Reportedly, Wizards of the coast made around 1.3billion in revenue, while EA made around 7billion, and Activision-Blizzard made around 1.5billion.
Iβm no financial expert so maybe Iβm mistaken in some figure, but the bottom line is WotC is not the only big (and growing) company, so this are nothing but excuses.
Ok, but what does that have to do with addressing the dude who claims the game had no funding implying it had a small budget when it didnβt?
Heβs not saying anything about the MTX or lack thereof; heβs calling out the idiot saying BG3 had no funding.
What does my answer have to do with that? Iβm answering the post that I actually commented on, which says the game is great because:
They had BUCKETS of funding from wizards of the Coast
Iβm saying others also have similar or bigger amounts of money and donβt make a game like this.
