It is a comment full of common sense. Especially since in an interview, Sven Vincke assumes to use the Baldur's Gate franchise to attract players while continuing to do D: OS because that's what Larian can do.
Indeed, it would have been better if this game did not bear the name of Baldur's Gate and even less of Baldur's Gate 3.
It will backfire on them anyway.
I can't wait for the game to hit steam and immediately make more money than BG2 ever did.
Is envy the only sentiment driving you?
Seems that way. Not to mention, games like Pokemon and Fortnite make a ton of money but doesn't mean they're good games. And BG was made 20 years ago at a time when videogames were nowhere near what they are within society today. In contemporary society, videogames have surpassed movies in terms of total revenue generated. Comparing BG sales to anything today is completely asinine.
