People are not buying BG3 because of Larian (some yes), they are buying it because it is Baldurs Gate. The original BG series has sold 4 times more copies than DOS1&2, not counting the enhanced edition or sales post 2000. Larian need to make it clear who there target audience is, BG and D&D fans or pewdiepie subscribers.
I am sure DOS3 will be cut and pasted soon after BG3 is released. People were promised "something special" for BG3, so far not seeing it.
1m+ in EA is absolutely amazing considering the total sales of DOS2 is between 1.2-.1.35m. Says to me a different type of fan is interested in BG3, I wonder who that would be?
I really doubt you are right on this, DOS2 is the most popular CRPG for a reason, and much more popular than the number you just threw out as a guess in that post. Unless you think several years of being pretty damn high up there in steam sales results to ''1.2-.1.35m'' and that is without even console sales or gog.
I personally know 6 people who have BG3 and I am the only one of those who has played bg1 or 2. Yes I know that is anecdotal and not proof. But check steam player numbers if you want too, dos2 has more daily players than every other crpg put together on steam.
