MODERATORS
That's because instead of brainstorming new ideas, big companies just look at what is currently selling and duplicate it. Often poorly.
I mean, even BG3 itself isn't very innovative. All they did was take ideas that had been around and stayed in the 90's to the modern world of gaming. I kind of have my doubts if it would have been such a huge success if there were more CRPGs like those of the past that had kept up with today. It's on par with a lot of those older RPGs, including the 2 previous Baldur's Gate games, but by comparison with other modern games, it's a god send.
This isn't meant to be against the game in any way; more about the state of the industry that the discussion around this game has shown me is worse than I thought. Even the consumers don't seem to know that games like BG3 used to be the norm, and not exceptions.
