Making a game called Baldurs gate THREE and ignoring the COMPLETE fanbase of BG ONE and TWO sounds like a pretty dumb business idea to me.
I'm saying that fanbase doesn't matter nearly as much as you think it does.
Do you think younger folks have more money to spend on luxury products, video games, computers etc. than those in their thirties and forties? I don't see what's wrong with being a niche as long as you can make money off them.
