Yeah, I just googled [Game Name] number of copies sold and google put up a number. Almost all of them are from within the first year or their release so its a bit wonky. The main point was that Larian punching in the heavyweights of this genre and isn't tuin at the robes of the greats saying "Notice me, Senpai!". They kind of are because of the 5e focus, but it was more that as we talk about the games it isn't a Pater Jackson going from zombie slasher films to LOTR director miracle story hope. Its a good studio and it isn't some slackass group whos CEO is the son of Mearls or something.

Well I wasn't trying to put Larian on a pedestal or put them down. Just only updating some of the numbers without any commentary one way or the other.

My personal take always is that if a game turns a reasonable amount of profit for its developer then that is sufficient from a business standpoint. Not all games can or should be sales bonanzas, and there should be space for games that satisfy even small niche audiences so that everyone gets to have that game they love playing. Put another way, all cRPGs should not be D:OS2. There are many gamers out there who didn't like D:OS2, and they too should get games to enjoy just like anyone else.
